Hey everyone - I'm looking for opinions on which tire I should go with for this coming year. I compete in autocross locally in A-Street Prepared, but have no plans to trailer tires and a set of Hoosiers (bro). I'm also planning on doing 2 or 3 HPDE/track days this year. I have a set of four rear OEM Rays (19x10") I'll be throwing them on. I'm between a set of the new Toyo R888R tires in 295/30r19 size, or Bridgestone RE71R 285/35r19. What are your thoughts on which I should go with? Very similar in price - maybe 70 or 80 bucks cheaper for the R888R. I know that tire hasn't been tested much either yet, while the RE71R is the tire of choice in autocross street classes. Thanks for your input!
