This may be a stupid question, but since these are AA traction vs the RC-1 A traction, does that mean they are grippier tires than the RC-1? I can't imagine it's that simple.

UTQG traction rating is based primarily on wet braking.

Was hoping for much better life out of the Rival S, but only managed 5k miles and ~3 track days. 15x10 6ULs arrive today, VR-1s on order. Time to roll some fenders.

Yes.

Just did a day of autocross testing on an STR Miata at Mineral Wells for GRM.

Next up is back to the track on my KMiata.

So much testing, so little time...

I wasnt taking any chances on these selling out before I got a set. I think they went on sale at 1am central time

+1

As much as I want my good friends and Maxxis to own all the market share in this new size for a while, I know the industry will finally see sales figures and react. Autocrossers will race on them. TR will see it ask the bigs for the size. Downside is that 15x10 +25 4x100's will become a new standard size and my market share will disappear. I guess I just have to work on the next thing
