Default Potenza RE-11 Vs RE070

What is a better tire? Will not be road racing, or Autocrossing, just street driving with 600HP

I would think grip would be the top demand. The Re11 , the Hankook RS-3 and Dunlop Direzza Star Spec are the top picks.

try the star specs. i switched to those when the rears went out and would say they are just as good if not better than the re070. also was way cheaper. not sure about the re-11, havent tried those yet

I would tend to lean toward the RE-11. They also have a 100.00 mail in rebate on four tires right now so they are a much better deal.
If I can help let me know.

RE-11 is the better tire.

RS-3, however, is your best bet IMO.

Given your power, I'd recommend NT-01, if you can hold back on the throttle till they're warm

Sideways uses RA-1 in 275.
