Wear is about the same. Grip is about the same. However:
.......... Some of my fastest laps are 8-9 laps into the session, which never happens with cup2 or NT01 for me........
4) 1/2 the price of cup2
5) Did I mention it's 1/2 the price of cup2? I don't drive the GT3 much anymore because I'm tired of paying $2k for a set of tires that only last 3-4 days.

Joe... Do they take some time to warm up? Typically we only do 7-8 laps per session so I'd hate to never get them to their best.

I was telling you guys all along...the RE71Rs are magical tires.

That looks really tight. Expect some scratches on the caliper that nobody will see unless the wheel is removed.

Yeah. Very possible.
Two days coming up this weekend to see how it rolls.
Already lovin the 265s up front tho.

I ran the 265/295 hoho's and the additional rubber up front sure changed the handling. And your stagger is even less...
