While I am slower than I would be on RE71Rs, the whole set of Federals cost $580. Now, if the tires turn out to be garbage and wear out in two more events, I'll look into RS4s or maybe the RE71Rs or go back to 20s with the SC3.
In that case, I'd pick tires for the big tracks and let autocross run times fall where they may. But I'd definitely be looking wider than 275.
