Based on price I hope it sucks, and I say that as a big fan of the original Rival. Not good for the sport IMO if the top two street tires end up the most expensive. Welcome to tire wars!

For 3 dollars more a tire over the Bridgestone, I'll gladly buy the Rival-S for the best contingency available.
At 245/40/17, here's a quick cheat sheet
Dunlop ZII Star Spec (177 ea + $50 VISA rebate if you buy 4)
Hankook RS3 V2 $155 ea galactic back order
Bridgestone RE-71R $187 ea
New Rival-S $190 ea
Old Rivals $168, on closeout for $132 ea I will always laugh at all the people NOT running at nationals, or even a national level that will still somehow NOT buy this tire at these crazy low prices.
I have fresh old compound rivals from next year, and ZII's that I've been driving on all winter (not in snow) that I need to use up while you guys tell me what I'm buying for nationals. I'm hoping the old school BFG's are fast enough to put me in position to win some new Rival-S's to try.
