Sweet pic Rob!
On topic...
My local 'mentor' is also from the school of thought that it is better to learn on R comps and will give plenty of good reasons why. That said, he also owns a tire shop
I ended up going with Falken Azenis 615 255/40-18s for this season at least 1) because I got them for $606 delivered and 2) didn't want to drive to events on R comps and no tire trailer/transport, yet...
Definitely want to move to the Rs next season, though I may be hoping and praying they make it a whole season if I have to drive on them to events...
