Yes, I ran Cup 2's all last year on stock 20" wheels. I think the RE71r's are comparable in grip but I like the way the Bridgestones wear better and they don't seem to heat cycle out as fast. Although this is my first set and I currently have 4 days on them.

Looking for any updates on this.
Is anyone using RE-71R on stock 20" wheels, esp. at the track? They won't be my primary track tires but rather back-up/rain/street tires. Already have primary track tires on 19" wheels.
Looking for something that won't quickly heat cycle out like Cup 2.

They don't make a suitable rear size for the stock wheels (295/30/20 is closest and its max rim width is 11". GT3 has 12"). Would be nice if they made something like a 325/25/20, but they don't...

"Well, I'm coming back to post my final thoughts on the RE71 295 rear tires on the GT3:
Unfortunately, I don't think it's a good combo. After making all the sway bar adjustments I could, the car continues to lack stability on corner entry. The back end breaks loose too easily from lack of rubber and the stretched tires in the rear. The car is still driveable, but the setup just isn't right. "

The biggest problem I have with the Cup 2 is that, when pushing hard, they overheat after a few laps, and then for the remainder of the session the lap time is off quite a bit. That sucks when 'racing' during a DE session.
