The Toyo Ra-1's that I have from 2003 (yes 2003, don't ask

) have a treadware rating of 40. Nothing changed when they re-rated it to 100, it was a purely political move. Treadware ratings are manufacturer set, with no regulation. The +7 tires would be close in reality, by NASA's testing.

So what your saying is that the Hoosier R6, rated at 40, is equivilant to the Toyo RA-1 rated at 100?

No, I'm saying to take manufacturer treadwear ratings with a grain of salt.

Bring whatever you want to Autobahn, and expect some creative handicaps Hint, it will NOT involve weight.

loftygoals OFFLINE Senior Racer Posts: 97	Are wheels open too? If so I'm getting a set with integrated electric wheel motors. Don't worry, though, I'll have to 300 lbs of batteries to power then, so I'll have lots of ballast. Will I get bonus laps for racing a hybrid vehicle? -bj
