We are hitting the testing pretty hard this month and next since the weather broke. We just got done doing the GSD3, S03, RE050A Pole, and Pilot PS2 comparison. I think the RE will REALLY give the Yoko a run for its $$. We helped develop that tire so I'm anxious to see how it will do.

At the Chicago autoshow a Bridgestone rep was trying to tell me that they wanted these tires to take on the Falken Azenis in solo.

He must have been smoking crack, b/c at $198 for 245/45/17 vs. $125 for the Falkens no one is going to buy these for autox.

Hell, you can almost buy Kumho V710s or Hoosier A6s for that much money.

You can't run less than 200 treadware for street tire class either.
