Anyone try the Bridgestone RE-71RS on track
I was very disappointed with the Michelin Pilot Sport cup 2 tires on my 2018 M4 competition (with 19" wheels), as this is the first tire I have ever had a 90 degree spin on, and it didn't last 2 months (3-4 track days) before cord was showing. I picked up a set of the new Bridgestone RE-71RS tires to try out next week. The rear tires are rated slightly below recommended load index (96W instead of (100Y), but should not be an issue?

Some guys on the F87 side of the forums love the 71RS' so I'd definitely suggest taking them out and seeing how they stand up to the Cup2's.

I just got back from Watkins Glen and I tested the Bridgestone Potenza Race tire and a friend was running the new RE71RS on his Supra. I didn't get a detailed review from him on the RE71RS but his laptimes were crazy fast in a stock Supra. The Potenza Race is UNBELIEVABLE but the first shipments appear to only be for Huracan/R8 fitment. There are more sizes coming soon.

I know; I used to run 265/35/19s front and 285/35/19s rear on the RE-71R, but I had to go with 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. I regret now I didn't get the 285/35/19s (for some reason those are available) for the rear as they're load index is also higher.

It's unfortunate because with a 285/255 setup, the car would understeer significantly more. The Advan Neova AD09s are available in 285/35/19 and 265/35/19 though. Has anyone tried these?

The EAS folks recommended them and so getting them ordered this week. The guys in the shop that track them said they are great. I'm getting camber plates as well. These are replacing my Azenis RT 660's that were destroyed by rubbing of the perch on my front Ohlinds R&T coilovers. Even with a 5mm front spacer they bore a big trench into the back of the tire. Destroyed them. May need a 12-15 mm spacer now. Will run them at the Fontana Speedventures even in early December.

about these tires. I recently ran them, and here's my take from that thread:
