Locally, the folks who first got REs got faster and now that most are on REs those early adopters are back closer to their normal results.

We've also noticed that street class cars have the largest gains, so cars that can't run a lot of camber seem to do the best on REs, AS and SS Boxsters and Caymans seem to have made some major gains. In ST classes and others who can run camber plates and a lot of camber, I'm not sure the REs are as large of an advantage.

For our cars in CAM, it's also harder to say, I can't say the guys who switched to REs are now much faster, I was lagging a bit but after putting on new Falkens I gained a lot of time and the results are now pretty close to what they were. Some testing has resulted in REs seeming faster but I question that as there are too many uncontrolled variables.

I can say REs are far better cold vs Falkens and seem to take heat just as well, so they have a much broader sweet spot where they are fast, this is a pretty big advantage even if they're not much faster vs Falkens at ideal temps.

Falkens also fall off pretty quickly after they're half worn, and by the time they're close to wear bars they are trash, and they have a progressively narrower sweet spot as they are used as well.

That's why I said I haven't see the evidence personally.

So, you are saying the pace of the REs is nearly the same as the RT660s? If that's the case, I'll stick with the CR-S as I averaged 1 second quicker in my testing when I pitted the RT660 and CR-S V1 against each other.
