To be honest the RE11 is more grip than I ever get a chance to use anymore, so going to the RE71 would be pointless.

RE11a's are great but those 71r's oh baby. Also have a set of advan ad08rs which are a solid tire with minimal noise imo

My only hesitation (I have two sets of RE-11a) from switching is the increased road noise on the 71r's I've read about. It's why I didn't go from Star Spec to ZII. I'm already driving a sardine can with little to no sound deadening, and unforgiving seats. Smooth roads, track, dragon = great. Driving on other surfaces or places
Which reminds me . I better wash my car and get prepped for Mid Ohio next weekend

I guess I don't care about those things much since I drive no more than 4-5K a year.
Car has a bucket seat, insanely high sprung suspension, bushings, sway bars, squeeky track pads, and ad08r tires right now.
