That makes sense, I couldn't seem to figure out why everyone was running 195. I should get the same grip out of a 195 as I am out of a 205 now right? Or close?
The RE-11 is an excellent tire, and 205 is the right size for your present wheel width. The toyo R1R is a totally different tread compound, as one might expect of a tire being made by a different tire company. the 195 toyo has different compounding and construction than the other toyo sizes of R1R. Ordinarily the recommendation would still be to stick with 205 as available, given your 7 inch wheels. Pick compound first, then size. I expect, among the top ST* tires right now, finding one that fits your driving style and typical weather conditions well will make a much bigger difference than which tire is theoretically fastest.
The RE-11 is a great handling tire for my driving style, but I'm one who prefers the way bias slicks or V710's handle over the way the Hoosier A6 handles, so there really is no accounting for taste
I'd pick the RE-11 over any of the other 205's, but haven't because it is so much more money than the Star Spec, which is also a good tire (though I had defective, impossible to balance tires in 3 of the last 4, and 5 of the last 8 that I bought).
