I can't even express how much time I have spent reading about tires, watching video's about tires, looking for reviews on tires, looking at all the specs on tire websites, asking people about tires they have run. I hate them, they must be destroyed.

The fast tires are the Yokes or the Bridgestone depending on driving style and feel preference. Possibly surface. In this car I think the Bridgestone has the higher potential... It rewards precise inputs.

Nankang’s are also hard to get here. I have only found a couple places to buy them across NA, one being Phil’s.

My understanding is the new Bridgestone RE71RS went more towards a track focused compound with less grip but also less wear.

All the guys I have talked to that run both say the 71RS is slightly better in every way(except price) then the old 71R. Slightly faster, slightly better wear, slightly better heat tolerance.
