Well hell... might as well get RE-11's at that point. The Sumitomo are $600 SHIPPED. So for me who only does HPDE for entertainment, not times... i think they'll do just nicely.

I hope. ;)

Well, you'll just have to see how long they last to make a useful comparison. If you fry them in half the time as a more expensive comparable set, you haven't really saved any money.

Totally agreed!! I only got 2-3 days out of RE-01 in my R32, but that understeered so much, it just scrubbed the tires away.

The 370, on the other hand, handles properly... so they "should" last quite a bit longer without being understeered to death. :bowrofl:

Only time will tell if this is a good tire decision. We'll see how many HPDE days i get out of them.

:tiphat:

Yep, unfortunately, since there are so many variables and most of it boils down to how you drive, you kinda have to just pony up the cash and find out by trial and error.

We will see a post why all my tires are feathered or have blisters

Nahh... I'll know why!!

I have the Yokohama S drives and really like them. They are in the same price range as the BFG G-Foce Comp 2's but are lighter and perform equally as well on the track. My only complaint on the Yok's is the road noise. Not over bearing but noticeable
