You can also daily on the RE-71R but I'd definitely suggest the new PS4S or Firehawl Indy 500 if you're looking for a daily that you can track. My friends Indy 500's held up fantastically to track duty, although to be fair he was running 255's. the Indy's might be a great option if you want a great (fairly) inexpensive tire right now and then you can always try the PS4S next?

Interesting, I hadn't considered the continentals or the firestone 500s - sounds like some good endorsements in both corners.

Would tires feel/respond differently to the heavier, AWD setup of the WRX vs the FRS though?

From what I have red, closer to to PSS is just PS4. In fact it is said that PS4 are just a bit better then PSS. Then, PS4s should step up the game to another new level. So I would buy just PS4!

I have the OEM RTs on my STI. They're ok. Considering the level of grip they offer, they're really loud. I'd rather go with the MPSS/PS4 for a daily tire, which offers more wet and dry grip, while having less road noise.
