I'm not set on any tire yet but what tires have the best resistance to overheating in the re71r, R888, NT01 range?
I don't have much personal experience but the RE71r won't tolerate heat like the R888 or NT01. The NT01 are known to be a great tire in terms of heat tolerance and ultimate dry grip although I hear they are scary in the wet.
