They even added a pink stripe to attract Miata drivers.

The only size for a while will be the SM from what I have heard, do not look for them to be a bargain tire though.

With the job Toyo put on the Spec Miata folks with their new R888 tire some competition is in order. Second will be to see if the SCCA has what it takes to show support for we who pay the bills. The Toyo RA1 was a very good tire when cost, grip, life were looked at.
ps: Sorry Andy, not everyone found the tires to be as good as you say they are.

The GY's have always been a dollor or two LESS than the Purple crack. I have a set of these on my car right now. They are BIG and FAST.
IMHO, the GSCS-RS has always been a better tire than the Hooiser.........next size to be introduced is the 225/45/15.

re: the 888...I am convinced it's because guys just threw them on and expected them to BE the RA-1. No testing, no pyrometers, no adjustments. They aren't. What they are is a dang good tire that wears a little worse than the RA-1. All IMHO - after testing...not just BB regurgitation.
Not to be an alarmist, but when it hits 100 down here we expect the ATE ATE ATES to melt. They were already looking pretty bad back in March. Yes tire mgmt. may help some, but smarter racers than me are very worried about their performance / durability. Even some of Andy's old SMAC buddies are taking a wait (worry) and see on the 888s. Hopefully everybody down here is wrong and they can handle the heat.

Are there any size and pricing updates for the Goodyear Eagle RS DOT tires? Goodyear's race tire website only lists the 17" and 18" wheel sizes. Nothing is listed in the IT sizes.
Here is the cut sheet with available sizes. Might just have to buy 6 of these to start next year off with.
