RE71R tend to falloff quickly and wear fast for track days.

I havent had that problem. We have run them on our racecar for 4 HSR races and numerous HPDE without them falling off or wearing fast. If you don't get your tire pressures correct they can fall off a little because the pressure rises. We ran RE11 for a long time and once switched to the RE71R we knocked off a second at Sebring on the 2nd lap and were insanely consistent for the entire session

Any more info..... a 265/35/18 goes for $180, where a rs3 of the same size is 216!

I might try the jump ecstasy v720.... they look good and are also about $180!

Anyone try those yet?

Bringing this post from the dead got these tired a couple of weeks ago paid $540 from tire rack figure I'd see how these tire hold up and handle compare to the more $$$ tire out there.I'm running these on my 2003 S2000 mounted on Ap2V1 wheels so fronts are 215/45r17 and rears 245/40r17. Keep in mind tires I was running before were Direzza ZII so my first impression of these tires was very surprising. These tires warm up fairly quick not like the Dunlop which takes a little to warm them up. So far I've only driven this on the mountain pass which is pretty technical but the grip on these tires is phenomenal. So far I've got almost about 1k miles on these tires. Side wall isn't as stiff as the Dunlop but when cornering the tire response really well even when driving it hard into the turns the car feel really predictable. Just thought I'd shime in. For a Korean made tire first time running Nexen tires these tires have been a good but so far.

For reference, what is your impression of the Direzza Z2 on track?

I've heard in places that the Nexen is essentially the current RS3 compound, and that Hankook is coming out with a new RS3 soon.

I'm tempted to try these on my team's BMW E36 truck LeMons car. We could save enough to buy a 5th as a spare tire for the race.
