And Qbert I liked that setup quite a bit.
But now I have to buy new tires. Have anything good to say about the Toyo RA-1's?

Glad you liked the setup. I haven't heard much about the Toyo's. I'm guessing that your current tires feathered or chunked on edges fairly badly?
My suggestion is if you really like autoxing and plan on doing it quite a bit more get some Falken Azenis. They are one of the best street tires used for autoxing, yet they are not R compounds. You'll have to get 225/50/16's but they won't feather or chunk, have incredible grip, and are fairly cheap ($100 I believe in that size). Downside is they are noisy and you'll probably only get 1 season of autoxing and about 10-12K miles out of them. They aren't the greatest in the rain either, but they aren't as bad as R compounds.
If you can live with the above list of good / bad properties those are the tires for you. If not I can give you some other suggestions for some other tires, just let me know what you need to have them do and some characteristics you would like the tires to have (ie. low noise, long life...etc.).
