I haven't looked into buying tires, although I will be needing some real soon and now have a chance to get some slightly used Toyo RA1 tires in 225/50/15 for cheap..(I have flares and 8" Fuchs). So are these good street tires?

Thanks for the reply.. I can get these tires very cheap so the point is really mute I guess. The 40 rating means that they wear quickly or refers to how they handle wet conditions? Please excuse my ignorance on this subject.

40 says they wear quickly. Decent, not too expensive, performance street tires have treadwear ratings in the 300's. Higher priced ones that wear relatively quickly have ratings in the 200 range just to give you an idea.
