That is true, but for the cost of some of those tires why give up the ability (relatively speaking) in the rain for that cost? Since Josh wants an all around ( ugh ) tire, the road course tire kind of leans more to the road course stuff than anything else. I don’t think the road course tire really makes that much more impact than a Falken RT615, or Hankook Rs2 Z212 on an autocross course. At least not enough to justify the cost. I think a Yoko A046/A048, RE050 Potenza would be better than the Toyo RA1 for double duty.
