Need Autox tire recommendation: Hancook RS3 V2 vs. Direzza Z2 star spec

stuy486

Well, both drivers in the vette beat me, but not by much. Results

[disclaimer: excuses ahead]
They were on brand new tires, whereas we were 4-event old (~35 runs/event) RS3s.
IMO the course pretty heavily favored power cars, particularly on the "straightaway" in the back where we got up to 77mph in the 350.

They ran the Bridgestones and their old RS3s back to back on Saturday, they were definitely struggling for grip on the RS3s compared to the RE71Rs, but that's probably more a result of tire age than anything, so it's tough to draw an conclusions really. It seems to me like the RE71R is much more of a contender than the RE11As, but it's not like they're running away with it because the tire is that much better.

You can watch their thread over on the Vette forums to see if they say anything about them.
