RE71R and Hankook RS-3

Here is my impression of both.

RE-71R are amazing. I have used them on this car and the E36. They are great grip for the track. Basically a street legal slick with treads. They do wear quickly. Went through one set in 3 track days. Probably right now the best DOT track tire out there. They are also light which helps for rolling resistance etc.

Hankook RS-3- I got a deal on these and know I see why. These tires on the track are horrible. The car squeals and pushes quite a bit. They are significantly heavier than the RE-71R. The one positive is that they are more durable. For regular street use they are fine but for track I wouldn't recommend. Probably about 2 seconds slower than the RE-71R.

Going to try the TOYO R888R soon through a sponsorship so that will be interesting.
