No TW's listed though.

Do you mean the UTQG? All sizes are 200 A A in the spec page.

EDIT: Never mind, you meant tread width...yeah, that's something TireRack measures themselves, so it will be a while.

FWIW I run RE71RS 255/35 and 275/35 on oem 437's lowered about 20mm.

On the M2C had to massage the front liners and remove my 5mm spacer on the rear otherwise mild rubbing under compression.

Circa -2.2F and -1.8R camber. They have a wider tread width with square shoulders.

Quite like the tires and ok in the rain as well

Was going to pre-order a 275/305/35/18 set today, but it looks like they've pulled the 71RS off the tirerack website for now.

This is what I'm interested in. Is your car lowered? You have the gold FI-R's, correct? Hopefully it's lowered and we can check the fit that way. I'm not super unhappy with my V601's, they're actually pretty nice, but I definitely want the 71RS if I can make it work.

Yeah. Lowered on MP HAS and I have Vorshlag camber plates on order. I got plenty of life left on the Cup2 Connects since I've only been on 1 trackday on them, but I wanted to get these just so I don't end up on more backorder delays....

No longer lister at tire rack in any size

AUSf22 · 04-25-2022, 11:00 PM

I'm on my second set of RE71RS (255/275) for my track tyres and I absolutely love them.

Will be keen to hear the reviews from you guys over in the states, in comparison to other similar tyres you guys have accessible there.

I guess they put it back up on the site. They must have been flooded from the release because it was available before, but now on serious backorder.

June 1st.

ZM2 · 04-25-2022, 11:40 PM

It’s back up!

They were all 6/1 before, but says 275/35/18 available now & 295 on 6/1…

Guess I need to burn up some Toyo RR’s in the meantime.

driver91 · 04-26-2022, 07:35 AM

Thanks for the update

ZM2 · 04-28-2022, 03:01 PM

Ordered mine up. 275/35/18 ships next week, 295/35/18 in June.

driver91 · 05-04-2022, 09:26 AM

Just orderd 255 275 👍🏼 Try them out when the good years are done

ZM2 · 05-07-2022, 11:18 AM

$90 rebate now available, if you can get your hands on them this month.

TUNEDM3 · 06-06-2022, 02:34 PM

Ordered a set of 255/275…anyone who has used these already have any insight on these vs cup 2 for the track?

nixeighty6 · 06-06-2022, 04:08 PM

Has anyone in the United states received any 71rs's?
Bridgestone here on the east coast said they haven't seen any and don't expect them till July. That supposedly from the main east coast sails rep.

ZM2 · 06-06-2022, 04:17 PM

Tirerack is telling me 6/24.
