Default New shoes for the 427

Look what arrived today. This should help hook 700 hp.

Toyo Proxes RA-1 for the front / Proxes TQ for the rear. The rears are very wide, I would say wider than GS-D3's, but I don't have any to measure.

OE sizes, but the rears definitely have more tread width.

Todd,

You gotta be using something bigger than 11s, right?

love the RA1s great tire at a great price

somebody buy my CCW 505s so I can go back to 18" rims!!

I have a set of the 335 RA1s and I believe the front 275s are still available.

anybody know if they still make the 18/30/335s?? they seem to have been discontinued.

are the proxies as soft as the RA1??

I also like the R888, but not the tread pattern, looks a bit funky but they work well
