All those tyres listed are soft compound track types, some are DOT approved
for road usage but in reality they are not serviceable as they do not work
In the real world of rain and road hazards, plus they are not predictable
after a few heat cycles. The RA1's have a wear rating of 100, which in
the real world are good for maybe 2500 miles. I drive twice that every
season between my two Tigers.
