Default Anyone try the Toyo RR tire?

Has anyone tried the Toyo RR tire for tracking? I saw that NASA has a contingency program for the Toyo. The set of 4 is $250 cheaper than the Hoosier R6, so they may be worth a try. How does the RR compare to the R6?

The RR is a different tire. Slick with 2 lines of tread.

largest size is 275s which is what I run to get the .3 HP/wt ratio add on for TT3. I think this is a new compound, but I haven't heard of anyone in a vette running them yet.
