Well, I’ve gone to 265 square setup with Falken Azenis 615k+. Corner entry understeer is better. I think these tires are a smidge slower than the re71s, but also a smidge cheaper.
Wear is loads better. I can rotate the Falkens, but interestingly you can’t remount them inside out. The re71s are directional (rotation one way only), but are symmetric side to side. The Falkens can roll either direction, but are asymmetric side to side.
ZeesNThrees Also been working on corner entry technique. Whether that improves wear I can’t say, but my times are better! So far so good...
