I'm with DarkPira7e, definitely prefer the handling characteristics of 200tw Extreme Perf tires on the street and of course at the track. I've gotten as much as 18k life out of Hankook RS3s on the S2000 on the street.

Running -3 to -3.2 front and -2.5 rear camber I got pretty even tire wear with RE71R and NT01s on the BRZ for street/track usage. I would rotate between track events to ensure that each tire got its share of abuse at the outside front. Never had any need to flip tires.

RE71R are definitely *very* good in the wet, and have very good hydroplaning resistance for the first half of their life. Beyond halfway as they become slicks, of course hydroplaning resistance goes away a bit more so than with 300+tw Max perf tires with greater void ratio.
