I would be interested to hear any comparisons (now or in the future) you might have in regards to tread wear between the RE-11 and RE-71R :tiphat:

:iagree:

So, I bought the RE-11s used, they are about two years old already. They came with the wheels I bought from a MAZOC member and the rears are almost ready to be changed out when I go them. Not sure how valuable a comparo would be from this. I am not going to dd the 71Rs. However I will keep track of how long they last for autox. Also, we need to recognize that 2014 is the first year I owned the Z and before that I drove things like pickups and low power front wheel drive sedans for ... like ... 30 years. The most fun car I had was a 1968 MGB (oh and the 68 El Camino) that I did autox for a year when I was 20, 40 years ago. I say this because my driving style will be far different and I may or may not be getting a wear level that would be comparable to you driving style.

I'm using the stock Advan that came with my 2015, but considering the POTENZA RE-71R for future replacement, they seem to be better than the advan sport and they cost less!

Nor as wildly out of control ... :driving: :eekdance:

Oh ... topic ...

Ordered the G1W-CB dash cam from SpyTec for $62.

Lots of good information in this article: The Best Dash Cam | The Wirecutter

Looking forward to a DYI on how you hardwire it. I presume that mounting this on a blend mount and tapping into the power at the mirror would work, but seeing as I have a lowly base model, I'll have to run power from the fuse block. I just finished reading that article and I think that's the one I'm going to get.

I'll probably just use the 12V plug for a while as I don't have power at my mirror either. I've got a GenTex homelink mirror sitting in my garage for several months now. I will hardwire the dash cam whenever I install the mirror :tup:

I feel your pain MsPint. I felt it when I had to give up a souped up Vette for kids... :icon14:

I should have just made my husband give up his Z and kept mine. It made more sense to have one we could both drive with lower miles.
