The CRB is aware of the concerns of Spec Miata owners about availability of the Toyo Proxes RA1 tires that are required for National racing. Due to conditions at their Japanese production facilities, Toyo is unable to tell us when these tires will be back in production and readily available in the United States. As a result, the CRB will make a decision about Spec Miata tires as more information is available. If there is not an adequate supply of RA1s, there will be a TEMPORARY change of the specification to permit the use of the Toyo Proxes R888s in addition to the RA1s. Toyo reports that there is a sufficient supply of the R888s. However, only ONE tire will be permitted at the Runoffs. If an adequate supply of the RA1s is not available before the Runoffs, then ONLY the R888s would be permitted. For now, the RA1 remains the required tire.
