No prob! Wish they had 275/35r18. But I ordered some 265s anyways. At that price, can't really pass it up for some track rubber!

I might have gotten the last of the 275's when I added to cart yesterday. I was doing some random research on my next set of track tires and ran across this closeout. I am somewhat new to tracking my car, and I think it would be a shame to have not tried out such a popular tire. I am hearing they are not even going to sell the new "S" version in the states. Hard to believe they are willing to lose all of those sales. This tire must have been the market share leader in the 200tw segment.

They still have some 275s. They just aren't $115/tire

I ordered a set of 255/275 for my M2C. Total was $975 which is much cheaper with the discount/close out than other tires in the segment.

I had actually purchased Goodyear F1 Supercar 3s two days ago but the order didn't go through for some technical reason and when I went back to resubmit the order, I saw the RE71Rs on sale.

Hoping that I didn't make a mistake with the RE71s over the SC3s but for a $330 difference I felt like these were worth a try. Just wish the 275s ($350 each) were as cheap as the 255s ($138 each)!

I run SC3 for my street tires. Love them

The Re71r are 200tw and are certainly more track focused.

Discount Tire has 285-35/19 (fits stock rear) at $309. Very tempting.

bentom2 · 05-23-2021, 09:34 AM

I ordered 265/35 front, 275/35 rear for my 18” 9.5/10.5 track wheels the other day when I stumbled onto the closout pricing. The total price was too good to pass up.

Regarding the SC3: currently running them on my track wheels. I just posted in another thread that they seem to split the difference for me between the RS4 and A052/RT660 for grip and wear. They’re also priced quite well after rebate.

Just bought four 275/35-18 @ $184.79 FTW!

booya_45 · 05-28-2021, 12:17 PM

Yup. Just bought 4 tires today 275/35/18. Out the door $700.
