[s-cars] summer tires

[pmische]

The biggest obstacle to the RE-11s is $$$ - they're $100/tire more than the
Dunlops, which seem to have a loyal following - I wonder if they work almost
as well?

If you're starting off with replacing RE050PP, you're not going to be happy
with the budget choices.

I'd go with RE-11. Worlds better from everyone I've talked to and I agree
with the assessment, I love them on my Corvette. If you're going to get
tread noise and thumping, you're definitely going to hear it with 265s and
305s.

Maybe I'm not as fast as I think - I've run both my cars at LRP and The Glen
multiple times on RE050 PPs and never had a problem.  Of course I'd like to
think I'm just ultra-smooth and good to my tires.

Phil-


Depending on how fast you are in the UrS, you'll end up killing street tires
on the track- high weight and relatively small tires will just end up
overheated.

I saw Bruce cord a set of Ecsta V700 on his UrS4 at LRP, which isn't a
particularly taxing track.
