Maxxis RC-1 245/40/15?
Been eyeing the 245/40/15 size on Maxxis' website as a pipe dream for time attack where there is a 80 or 100 tw cap on the class. Would fit a 9" wheel.. have seen old archived posts on m.net and elsewhere on the subject, but all just "what-ifs", wondering if anyone has any more concrete info on if this is a "don't hold your breath, look elsewhere for realistic options within next season or two" or if this is actually coming to fruition in the near future?
I bet Emilio has the most up to date insider info on this, but don't always want to be bugging him directly via email

These could be interesting. They should cost about as much as I pay for a set of 275 hoosier take offs, work in the temp range I already run the A6's in and should hopefully last like a whole season. Would be a decent cheapy tire for me to just do locals on when I'm not fiddling around with car setup and just want seat time.

Can you guys share some feedback on those RC1 vs NT-01 for example ? Both available in 225 a ATM. T/A with 100 TW cap is happening next season or you take a big hit if you go Hoosier and don't worth it IMO.
Ran 275 on 9" and they feel like they're missing a lot of slip angle...

Hoping the 245/40/15's Maxxis RC-1 will arrive next month as planned. I drove on my NT01's this past weekend and forgot how much fun they can be.
These guys did some more testing last month at Buttonwillow comparing the NT01 to the RC-1.
