I actually hate these new Bridgestone tires, and feel they've fucked up street tire classes, but I'll save most of this rant for my build thread that I'll update this week with video of each tire being run on the same course. All in all, I'm very disappointed on how this car 'drives' on R Comps (yes, I'm calling the RE-71 an R comp). It's just not fun. I feel like I need to make miracles happen to come in with fast times on Rivals and it's an awesome feeling when you get it right. On Bridgestones I feel any swinging **** can put down a fast time.

Tire tech is always going to progress. If they were more expensive than other tires you'd probably hear screaming, but with the current rebate they are cheaper than almost anything else. Really it just comes down to people being on equal tires in the end, the better driver will always win out. Race tires can certainly make up for crappy driving, but only to an extent.
