It's a road race tire. Its the Spec tire for the American Iron class, as well as many others. Great for corners.

You know that would be a damn dumb choice of tire. The hotter they get the sticker they get. The only good thing is the sidewall is designed not to flex.

But, I could be wrong. All the ads I've seen for the RA-1 have Falken's D1 spec 05 GT sporting it. Soo... ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

I had 305-35-18 rears and 275-35-18 fronts on an 04 Cobra. The fronts lasted about 2,000 miles combination street and track driving, the rears got about 5,000. That's what happens when you have a nose heavy car.
An awesome street tire if you can deal with the short life.
