But damn are they on the expensive side. My local shop has a set of the V2 315/30R18s for $1600 with installation. My last set of V1s cost $1450 with installation. I personally haven't tried the V2 yet, but guys I know that have said they grip even better than V1s.

Hoosier A7 and R7 are DOT legal. Not recommended as a road tire but they are legal. You will ABSOLUTELY hydroplane in light rain. Trust me. |

I believe Hoosiers get slower as the heat cycles increase. Not sure if this is an issue (or as much of an issue) on the 3Rs.

What are the best sites for finding scrubs for 18" wheels? I recently switched and that was one of the potential benefits, but it does seem that there are limits on the sizes for our car - very few make anything above a 295 width. I am running 315R and 295F.

What pressures are you targeting with your RE71RS tires? I was not a huge fan of them at mid/low 30's, sidewall seemed too soft for me, too squishy. |

The new Nankang CRS are out in ZLE sizes, so that's now an option. I hope they are equal to the RE71RS and A052.

Ahh, I see. I thought you were running the RE71RS. I run nankang AR1 315/30/18 square, but I have a set of 295/35/18 RE71RS as a spare/wet set. I like the AR1 considerably more in the dry but was hoping to find the magic in the Bridgestones that I keep hearing about. |

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.

I have a Mustang buddy that runs the 315 A052 on track and I asked him how many laps he gets before they overheat, he said 1. lol
Several buddies have the new V2s, waiting to see how those work. My experience with the 18" 315 Z214 vs 19" 305 G3R is the Z214 was a 2:06 vs 2:03 lap. Of course they're good for only about 15 heat cycles for they start to fall off. They're $1,687 a set with tax and delivery. https://hankookmotorsports.com/produ...37854010474663

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.
