Particularly being width-limited to 215 or 225, I wouldn't bother with a Max Perf tire for street *and* track usage.
For the record the RE71R isn't a 1-lap tire, my fastest lap in practice (a 1:20.554) on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (chicane/chicane) was 9 laps in. In the time trial I went faster every lap: 1:21.205, 1:20.554, 1:20.511, despite screwing up a couple of corners on laps 2 and 3. Won my class by less than a tenth :O

I appreciate the feedback. I won't be tracking the car, not in the near future anyway, I'll surely do it someday but that won't be for a while. It's my DD and I'll probably go to like 6-8 autox events a year. And even then like I said, it's mostly for fun, I'm not looking to get super competitive or anything. It's more of a release since I try not to do anything reckless on the road but when I'm behind the wheel of this car I can't help but feel like putting my foot down and having some fun haha.
