In the wet I'd day it also falls between the RE71R and the PS4S, and while it will not run PS4S laps in the wet, it allows for driving at a decent pace where you can have some fun and are not simply driving around the track just because it's your session. Breakaway in wet and slippery conditions is predictable - the one day I had it in the rain, I felt it gave enough warning before the rear would let go.

Overall, this is certainly a tire that will be in my list of go-to tires in the future.
So I ran this tire over the weekend and was pretty happy with it given the price and having nothing to compare it to (other than some 3 year old Sportcontact3s ). What were you running for hot pressures? I struggled a bit trying to work out pressures and was shooting for 36psi hot, but just couldn't get the wear to the little foot. We also had some shifting weather complicating things a little bit.
