My thoughts as well. I'm hoping these will yield similar lateral grip levels while being able to sustain the weight of the Z.

The Star Specs aren't that great on heavy cars.

well if you want to or know how to speak Japanese here you go.

POTENZA史上最速のストリートラジアル 「POTENZA RE-71R」新発売 | ニュースリリース | *式会社ブリヂストン

but from what i can tell these are a step above the RE-11 from the test graphs and numbers. as well as in a video i saw they were running them on a GT-R R34 and it was tearing the track up.

the creator said the best part about the tires are that they give the grip of a track tire but do not need to be heated to a high temp to get that grip.

That is why I am not as super excited as most. The RE-11's worked great on the Z's cuz of the beefy shoulder blocks which get laid down in the turns.

These might get chewed up on ours just like the Star Specs. Maybe a new improved compound will yield different/better results.

This should make for an interesting year. I plan on using these for DD and track, haha.
