I doubt she'll notice the difference between the RE11's and the RE71's.
dc wright, I suspect your correct, she is not likely to distinguish between the 11's and the 71's tooling around town. She is currently driving it with Goodyear run flats and she's OK with the firmness of the ride so that's what I have to compare to. Most of the driving is around town, not highway. I guess if she doesn't like the autocross tires, I can put the stock wheels with the run flats back on after each event. I was hoping to not do that only because I HATE the run flats, they really suck.
Ahh, First world problems!
