My first event on them (RE-71R) this Sat. They are at 0 miles right now. Just curious, what tire pressure did you guys end up with? I was thinking 38F/35R?

Both on Bridgestone RE-71R.

Pressures depend a bit on the rest of the setup. A stock no-camber car with a 275 stuffed on a 9, will need a lot more pressure than my STR car with -4 degrees and a 245 on a 9.

I've heard some advise to not go below 35psi with the Bridgestones. I ended up with low 30's front and high 20's rear but again, everyone (and every surface) is different - gotta experiment for your sitution to find what's best.

38/35 seems like a safe starting point.

To me, the Bridgestones are head-and-shoulders above everything that was already out - R1R, RS3v2, Z2*spec, etc. However there's still the BFG Rival-S and Kumho 720 to learn about - the former has started shipping and the latter is supposed to this month.
