RE-71R - the RE-11 replacement.

PharmDZ · 03-02-2015, 09:04 AM

Yet they've been used by tons of national competitive autocross guys to win events? I mean, it depends on how you're comparing them. Overall when you add comfort, road noise, etc they may not be the best. When you're talking overall dry grip, the RS3 is incredible. The RE-11 from what I've been told has always had excellent dry grip, although not quite as good as the RS3, but with better overall road manners.

RS3s have substantially more lateral grip than the PSS and more than the RE11 when they are up to temperature. The PSS isn't in the same league of track performance and ability to withstand high temperatures.

as much as I loved the PSS's the heat wanst it's friend nor was the sidewall strength.

got real worried on the dragon when I felt the should of my one front tire roll when diving into a big turn.

sidenote: I was thinking of the V12 tires. those blow donkey balls. the RS3 V2 different story.

And for an update, I wasn't going to get the RE71 in time so I settled for RE11.

Track sizes have limited availability during this time of year.

that article doesnt specifically say that they are RE11 replacements.
they state the re71r's are made for dry traction and achieves improved lap times by improving lateral hold during high speed cornering vs RE11's.

RE11's work well in dry or wet conditions.

dat said, RE71R are not replacements for RE11A's... so i thinks. so i hopes...

lol, u seem to have some sort of fixation with size.

kenchan · 03-02-2015, 02:57 PM

plus, i never liked running non-asymmetric tires on cars like the Z and G where there is large amounts of programmed negative camber by design.

not that i have any say to wat ishibashi-san wants to do.
