Reviews

The RC-1 performed exceptionally well

"The RC-1 performed exceptionally well for the first to laps, dropped off a little if you continue to push hard on them especially with a FWD car like mine. But definitely had confidence in them through high speed corners. That being said longevity is not the RC-1 strong suit."

— Mathew P. (5/5)

Maxxis tire purchase

"Running NASA contingency with Maxxis. Having done research and coming up with the best tire for my build, I can happily report I am returning to these tires for the 2023 season.
