Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone

I use Bridgestone RE71Rs for both track/street and they are great!

you can look into Bridgestone RE-71R(S) for good grip with better longevity than a052

On a other note, the Indy 500s are a great tire. 90% of the grip of the Pilot Sports for a fraction of the price.

I have 205/50/16 Indy 500s on Dekagrams and it’s perfect. Have specR lowering springs also. And no rubbing (sits perfect to me).

If you are getting a decent set, like say Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, you will be in the \~$125-180/tire range depending on size, plus mount and balance.

Absolutely. I live in northeast Ohio which has lake effect snow and I’ve used a second set of wheels with Blizzaks for years. They are almost as good as having 4WD. You won’t fishtail around corners and braking is good.

I now have Firestone Indy 500s and am quite pleased with them.

I drive spiritedly and the performance of the WP has not been disappointing although they are definitely not summer tires I also do not lose traction as easily in water or cold (New England).

RS11s are indeed not very popular. This is the case because it sits in between the S22 and the R11 which are both great tires while the RS11 doesn't offer the best of both worlds.

Cooper, never had a bad tire from them. I can tell you who I don't trust. Bridgestone, namely Potenzas. They are great new, but a tiny bit of wear and they loose ALL wet traction, and it's scary unpredictable. Never again.
