So I'm coming to a point that I HAVE to order the tire for the Z. No more reading or fb posts or feedback. It's decision time. Though my first event is on 4/12 (will try my best to sneak in a 4.4.15 event but as of now I'm working), I want to get the Z ready. I think with all the reviews, praise, feedback on RE-71R, I'm pretty confident to order a set of 275-35/19" sq RE-71R.. lol.. Well.. unless you give me a very good reason why I shouldn't order this set, I think I'm decided. Lmk if i'm making a good decision |
I'm on RS3's this year (Re11's last year). I'm very happy with the Hankook's. The couple of T&T's and at Evo most everyone I talked to that were running Hankooks last year but could not get them this spring due to availability and bought something else just to have new tires to start the year, are all saying they wish they have waited for the Re71's. Too bad the RE71 does not come in a 285/35/18 (just noticed Tire Rack had a $70 rebate on the RE71's).

Looks like the RE71's wear at a hoosier like rate though. SD is hard on tires apparently, but Dixie is note remotely hard on tires.....yet the people on 'stones are getting a lot of wear. Something like 6 runs per 1/32" of tread.

Right now, I think the RE71R is the no-brainer best tire. There's a lot of talk still about the Rival S that is supposedly shipping in April, but we don't have any testing numbers, mostly just hearsay from a few people that got to run on them after nationals last year. Since all 4 of the national events that we're running in the STU car are in March and April, it was an easy decision for us. We'll probably have another decision to make come nationals, but we'll be able to see what people think of the Rival S before we do. On the wear issue, I think there's no doubt that they're going to wear a bit faster than RS3s, but I don't think it's much worse on our ST car with LOTs of camber. However, on my stock 370, I'd definitely be on an aggressive rotate/flip schedule to maximize their life. I'd probably aim to have a "fresh" outside shoulder mounted on the fronts for every other event. Quote:

Can't wait to see your videos Jeff. PHENOMENAL performance this past weekend! You slayed the Qualcomm asphalt boogeyman that got you last year...

I posted my dirty but fast scratch time from Saturday as well as my clean run that was 1.2 slower. I didn't realize I had cones on my first run when I did my second run, then found out they were both dirty before my third run so I had to be conservative to get a clean time. https://www.youtube.com/user/stuy486/videos |
