For anyone interested, I ran Bridgestone’s S007A on track this past weekend and I can safely say it is close to a modern RE-11. Tread pattern looks a lot like MPSS/PS4S so I bet it will do well in the rain too. It’s classified as a Extreme Performance Summer tire so likely will take heat better too.
PFCs and SRF.

The brakes overheat under heavy use. My caliper paint turned black and I eventually burnt a dust seal which gummed things up and caused irregular pad wear.

I’d also get fade after 15min, so I gave up on the OE brakes and went with the AP front BBK. Rear OE brakes are doing fine with the AP help up front.
