Even if what you say is absolute fact ( and I don’t think it is), we’ve all seen instances where both platforms are very competitive. At 10/10s, it does come down to the individual driver and other factors. Shadow, thanks for the awesome track vid. That was great driving at high speeds between you and the GT3s. |

BFG R1 did not arrive in time for Laguna, but looking forward to trying them in a couple weeks at a Chuckwalla, the newly resurfaced Chuckwalla. |

You'll like the R1. Not much more grip than the RE71 but super consistent and it wears like iron. Definitely requires suspension though. |

If it does not offer more grip than a RE71, why does it need a “suspension”?

I wonder if the Nankang or the A052 are already there but if they are not it'll only take one more gen for full street tires to be there. At least one other person has run a stickier tire than RE71 (an RR, also from the stone age) on the F8X and it doesn't work better, it works worse. I suppose the RE71 tire provides a level of grip which is close to the max the stock suspension can handle

I agree, PSC2/RE71R/NT01/R888R type tire is pretty much the max grip the stock suspension can handle.

My goal was Randy Pobst time at Laguna with my stock CS, which is a 1:39.7 in base M4. Even with cheater tires, never got there. Looking forward to trying again with MCS suspension. |
