i had the same issue with tire rotating. Did the same thing with shoe polish marks and it rotated about 2" on each wheel in one track session.

 

I don't have any word at this time. Usually new sizes come out in early spring, so it's unlikely we will hear before then.

 

Rears are in

 

how many track days you guys getting out of re71r... go til they get corded?

 

3-4 days and I'm not easy on tires.

 

On my first set I got 610 track miles, but for me the rear loses a bit of grip by then.

 

i ddi 3 days on COTA and another day at MSR... lol.. i guess i should change it out but i still have lots of rubber left.. still feels like there is grip =) ill do one more local track

 

Yeah, enjoy them, they're still fun down to bald. I think Joe either broke 2 mins at Thunderhill or did 2 flat with tires that had almost no tread.


By the way, if there is no rain it's good to swap left/right if you only run CCW or CW tracks and not a mix of CCW and CW

 

Thill 2:00 can be done with worn tires
Sub 2:00 needs tires with good tread on them.

I’ve found that once a section of the tire is near flat, whether it be the outer edge or the center tread, times start to suffer. Other parts of the tire may look fine, but if a section is nearly bald, then count on slower times.

For me usually 3 days are good. Days 4 or 5 will be slower.

 

Have you guys been able to get a set of the re71rs in stock 20” sizes recently? I ordered from Tirerack, but the tires aren’t currently available. Any other sources?

I tried discount tire and was told that they are now tirerack exclusive. My last set came from discount tire and was cheaper than tirerack.

 

My order of RE71 in stock 20� size is still on backorder with no ETA from tirerack. Does anyone have different info on the ETA?

 

Spoke to TR on phone today. We are screwed. Nothing even being produced as was mentioned in an earlier post I believe. I was at my mechanic today scrounging some of my old used tires

 

The website makes it seem like these are available.

The rears are in stock, the fronts haven't been for months and Bridgestone won't be making any more till next year.
