HPDE Tire choices poll

Are you using the Z on the street too? If so, % on the street. How much you drive on the street will determine which tire I would get. Mostly street. The PSS's. My experience with them on the track. They are good up to about 75%. Once they get hot. They get greasily. That's after 20~25 minutes. If you want that other 25%. Get the track orientated tires.

The Z is my only vehicle. So it's street 100%!
I do, however, have track-only tires and wheels. So daily considerations are not an issue.

cooper rs3-s I have them and they are great. Much better than the comp 2 that I had previously.

NT-01 then. The 350z guys are really liking the Maxxis RC-1 however saying they last longer and are faster than the NT-01.

For another couple bucks i've also found Bridgestone RE-71R are also available in my desired size.

So 4x RE-71R shipped to my door for $980.

or

4x RS-3 shipped for $940

I'm leaning towards Bridgestones.

Obvious choice is go with the RE-71R since you are using them for dedicated track tire.
