Halo ran a 225/ 245 RA-1 setup for a few (i think) autocross seasons and I'm pretty sure he wasn't too impressed with them (always had the "you've got the better tire setup" card when visiting NER :P).

Actually, it was Advans A032-R.. And yeah, they sucked. Why? Mostly because of the staggered setup. I understeered pretty mad with those tires. 245 all around felt much better, and -2.5 degrees of camber up front felt better too. My car is still somewhat underpowered for SM class, but I personnally don't think a SR can produce enough torque down low. I am starting to believe that the best engine to put in a 240sx in SM class is a VQ35DE... with some bolt-ons, or better!
