Default Tire longevity

Which tires will last longer at the track all things being equal, RA-1s or Victoracers?

As a road racing friend of mine once said, "They suck, but they suck for a long time."

Awesome...that's good news.

Now, where can I get RA-1's for less than $1K/set?

Vilven is in the midwest and might be a good choice for you. You can also PM sfphinkterMC who's a Toyo dealer out here on the left coast.
