Going to need another set of tires for next years HPDE season. Starting the research a bit early. Suspension is 100% OEM. So far, I've used RE-11 and RE-71R. The RE-11 were nice and consistent, but the grip wasn't quite as good as the 71R. However, the 71R seemed to get slick after a few laps when driven hard.

I use Toyo R888's on my Vette, and really like that tire so far. Any thoughts on these tires for the BRZ, especially the new R888R? Anything else I should consider that could have same or better grip with better consistency throughout a session?
