Actually I was on a set of shaved Toyo RA1 205-40-17s in that video. I would recommend these over the 235s. They are a quicker and faster tire on a moderately modified Mini. especially for Auto-X.

Well, I may sell them in a while, but I do have two sets of Kosei K1s, 17-7.5, that I'm about to put up on the classified page, along with some other stuff.

Yeah, those Sub Zero's look great. I'm torn between them and Kosei K1-TS.

TS are lighter but they are also only a 7" rim. They are also more $$.
