180+ post of never-ending banter on RRAX.
There is NO Coles notes to this battle Behnam....
It appears the RE71's are taking most of the top spots - but at a huge wear consequence......some as bad as 60-70 runs on so-called STREET tires.
Others say it's dependant on camber.....weight of car.....tire size.
IMO, the RE71 appears to be the top dog thus far if the winners at top events across the US are any indication. However as those locally have found, speed comes with a price........ tire wear (welcome to Race tire territory Stock class !! )
Most agree across the board that unlike the R1R....RE71's lose their stick below 2-3/32. Whereas we can run the old R1R's down to the cord and be competitive. Consensus is no point in shaving the RE71's down as you just eat up $$ and
have a much "narrower" run count of being fast.
BFG's have a supply problem - but appear to wear longer. (for those wanting more longevity vs especially with dual drivers or have camber challenged cars.)
R1R's are only currently being campaigned by Toyo sponsored cars...and while not sucking - they are not winning top spots.
Kumho's don't seem to be winning the cool kids over.
Nothing from Yok.
Hankook RS3's are being left in dust already after only being introduced at the end of last summer

Yes Street cars are going faster , but at a price.
IMHO, the PAX numbers are screwed up as across the board as the speed of cars on 200 utqg tires is not in line with Mod classes that have not had a tire improvement for years.
