i have some re050 bridgestones the 140 TW kind, but they arent all that good. I can break them loose with the gas at autoX in a weak 2.5

My miata has Hankook RS-2s and they feel waaayy stickier.

Im gonna buy some RS-2s or 615's for my next set AKA whatever TIRE RACK DOESNT SELL!

Just got a set of Kumho Escta ASX's in 235/45/17's. One of my stock RE070 blew and I needed All Seasons anyways. Will be trying to find a used RE070 and shave it down to run for the summer.

For the guys running 245, does it fit without any issues? Or did you have to use spacer or roll fender or whtaever you have to do so it doesn;t rub?

Bridgestone RE-01R. The best street tires they have. I had 2 track events at LS with them. Great grip under heat, predictable. Offerred better grip in wet than the stock RE-70s. The ride is also tollerable even with the stiff sidewall and lower road noise than the RE-70. But it's expensive.

I noticed they wore MUCH faster than they said they would. I think I destroyed mine in like 8 months....give or take. DESTROYED.

Course I killed my RE070's in like 5 months.

you need to roll the rears a bit, you can run 265/35/18s all around with just a rear roll and the right width/offset
