Bridgestone RE-71R Initial Review

I'm a fan. Endless grip, especially in long sweeping turns like you see in Willow Springs Turns 2 & 8/9 and Buttonwillow's West Loop. Good tire life too. I've managed 6 track days on a set and that should improve with a bit of negative camber up front.

It's good to get some feedback on the wear. I'll be bold enough to daily and track these tires.

Those RE11s I had before lasted 6 track days and 17k miles.
