I like the 110 rule. While searching I did find a 120 street tire that looked good, but was no where near the level of a real R-Comp like a Victoracer or Hoosier. The 110 rule would allow for this tire. -Scott Rcomp cut off is 140. R compound tires are soft tread compounds are defined by the tire's...
