I am planning on running 225 RC-1's if I do switch, to get the -4 points back in TTD, allowing me to do headers/exhaust. That said, I will be losing a lot of tread width to the R7's. Although they are both labelled as 225mm tires, the section width on the hoosier's is 9.7 inches compared the the Maxxis' 8.9 inches.

Curious if anyone (@CSG Mike or @phastafrican) has any data on how much slower the RC-1 is compared to a similarly sized Hoosier R6. I'm assuming somewhere around 0.5-1 second on a ~1:30 lap, maybe closer to 2 seconds on a ~2:00+ lap.
