that said your Rival 2's and the V720's from Kumho will give you enar the same performance. they are all top tire rack tested tires

me personally? unless you are competitive and want the best of the best of the best

get the Federal 595 RS-RR. half the cost of an re71r and will last near the full season and get you 4/5ths the grip of the Potenza i run em for practice days where im more focusing on the chassis'd grip and my input than all out time attack

The issue with the Federal 595RSRR's are that they are HELLA LOUD on the street. If you DD your car, they will drive you nuts. They are not good in the wet either. Otherwise they are still a very grippy tire, stand up well to heat, and are inexpensive.
