#4.) percent of highway vs. city driving

1% highway, 99% track
#5.) your review and personal comments
WOW. No more squealing sounds. predictable, consistent handling. i did not have them shaved, and there is a lot of melted crap on them now. maybe shaving would be good for dry driving. the outer edges did not survive any better than less expensive tires I have taken to the track (RE-92's, Khumo 712's, Khumo MX's). This tire is far superior to those. RA-1's worked great in the rain at 115mph, and didnt need lot of time to heat up. them things is sticky, and street legal! why would anyone spend more $$$ on michelins and goodyears???
