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!
