The RE also had more grip first out the gate, CR needed some heat to come on. Just my worthless two cents on any of this. Also, the Yoko A052 was faster for me than either of those, but I am not a tester and did not do all of this on the same day. |
How did you feel about the CRS in terms of feedback? I've been mildly scared of them because of the handful of AR1 sets I ran through - they felt numb and they seemed to fall off a cliff after 8-10 HC in terms of balance and pace. Curious if the CRS is similar in those respects.

They're on my list to try too, but I don't think they're out until April.
An over-arching issue is that I've been going through a set of RC1s every ~3-4 days if I run full sessions. On the S2000 and Miata it wasn't an issue and I'd see 6-8 days out of an RC1 or Toyo RR; I'm guessing a lot of it comes down to the additional weight, struts versus double wishbone, and a little bit more pace.
I assume the 200TW tires will last less time, but I'm curious and they're supposed to be a bit faster than the 100TW anyway. Still undecided on which, and now I'll add the Yok to the consideration list too. I will end up on a contingency tire again though, the 8 Maxxis a year and whatever Toyo bucks help.
