I'm about to try something crazy and buy some NEW R-compound tires for autocross. So far this season and all of last year I've run on used Hoosiers -- they're way stickier than the Azenis I used two seasons ago to start my autocross career. Now I think my skills/addiction have progressed to the point where I can justify spending the money for NEW tires. But ever the tightwad, I am looking at the BF Goodrich R-1 as it is several dollars less than the Kuhmo 710 or the Hoosier A-6. Anybody have any first-hand experience with the R-1s?
