IIRC don’t Nitto radials suck? lol Where did you quote that from? Can’t find anything on Toyo’s site. If they work for some people, great. I just don’t recommend running such a wide tire w/ a stiff sidewall on such a narrow wheel. Also to note, Toyo doesn’t make those tires in a 335 anymore, widest is 275. For Toyo’s R888 tire (very similar to RA1), the minimum width wheel for a 335 should be 11", and even then you’re not using the tire to it’s potential with that size wheel. ---

Also read that its the same exact tire as the 555R-II right down to the side wall stiffness and the only difference is the RA1 has 8/32nds tread depth and the 555R-II is shaved to 5/32nds for the track. ---

for the money of them, I dont give two shits if I dont “use the whole tire”. They are cheaper then buying tires half the size at that price. I asked a simple question. CAN they fit SAFELY? thats all im asking. I dont care if you want to write me a novel on how their compound isnt drag radial material and all this other shit. ---

Well, I tried helping, but since you were already dead set on getting them, you shouldn’t have asked? Maybe it’s the original 555’s I’m thinking that weren’t a great tire? I don’t remember really as I haven’t paid attention to drag radials and what not in years. ---
