I’ve been out of the game a little bit but reading reviews and reports, generally the steering feel on the Bridgestone re71 has always been a bit sharper. Kumhos have been a bit numb on center. ultimately it’s preference. Not sure with current testing but the Continental extreme contact sport was popular and not too far off the pack. Also it was priced a bit better. If it’s of any value I shopped around and got some rt660’s for cheap this spring online. You have to cross shop every site as prices can vary greatly.

Nik, you’re not alone as I did not know about this until Sunday afternoon. Id have taken my son to this also

Any summer tire, Bridgestone re71r, Dunlop starspecs (of any model), RS3/4, falken azenis etc will suffer from extended periods in the cold. the cracking usually only occurs in severe cold (-10 or colder as I’ve seen) and all summer tires fall off/ lose adhesion and become slower after freezing. ideally a warm basement or at minimum a insulated structure to store them is required to keep them close to 0 or above.

So just to add context. My bmw with the open diff is useless on ice, even with decent tires, as it’ll just spin up the one tire and struggle to go on ice. I put a set of studs on it, and all of a sudden it would go anywhere. The compromise with studs is that it’s looser on dry pavement and noisy as hell. Braking distance on dry roads also is extended compared to rubber alone.

Just do note that just like in pickups, any sort of incident causes the bags to fly becoming possibly lethal. I’d say find some steel plate and bolt it to the floor. Make a robust mounting method over the rear axle and you can stack or shift weight left/right, or go in the spare tire well bolting through the pan. Have fun!

I’ll take the re71r’s if you still have them.

Would you have 4 that you think could work for autox purposes still? thinking of something better then all seasons for the mr2. thanks!

You got it. All un-classed cars automatically end up in SS unless/until classing occurs. This is done by emailing the scca board to request the car be classed. The board then looks at the car and it’s performance data and decides where to place it.

Thanks. Those are all close enough to me and by distance, make me agree with your theory on coop.

If your willing to share the info of locations please do so, or via pm. I avoid ethanol In my small equipment and bikes so this is disheartening.
