660s work very well for their price. I'm curious to see how the new 71RS and Nexen tire stack up against it. If you're going for fast laps it really can't be beat for the money. I'd say it's got more pace than an NT01 but definitely doesn't handle heat as well, no 200TW tire does except maybe an RS4.

I've been running the 660s on my Fit for track days and they're on the Civic as well. I just got 2 free take off sets with a couple days on them for the Evo too. The tires on my Civic are going on their 5th event at the end of the month. The fronts will likely need to be replaced afterwards, the rear should make it through the season as long as I don't do anything stupid.

 

Found a good example of the double tire walls working well in some footage from this weekend at Palmer:

 

So I ended up ordering a set of the new Bridgestone RE-71RS in 295/35/18

ETA June 15th. Will give me one more event on the Conti Forces in 295/30/18 and then I will mount the RE-71RS when in they come in.

 

I really liked those tires. I remember them feeling very quick and responsive compared to the NTO ones, I just couldn't beat on them as much.
Very fast though.

 

No you haven't, they aren't even out yet in the USA. You are thinking of RE71R, not RE71RS.

Good to know about the RE71R's though, as these are supposed to be even faster.

 

Nankangs are out of stock for me, at least in my time frame. So its looking like RT660s are going to be my only choice (not going back to 615s). Cant wait to see what 315s all around can do!

Curious to see if the RS are much better than the normal R. Whats supposed to be the difference?

 

Ah. Reading while working FML lolI'm very curious to see how the RS does.

 

Apparently faster and longer lasting. Holy grail, so we'll see if that is actually true.

 

Would love for that to be true.

Better heat tolerance would be appreciated as well, given our 100+ degree track days.

 

The RT660 has no water channels coming out to the sidewalls, which makes it look like its happy and meatier

 

If they are supposed to be the holy grail, do they come with that kind of price tag too?

 

Damn thats why i love this place too bad these tires didn't come sooner and i wasted money on 4s's

 

Inline with others and much cheaper than A052's.

$352/each in 295/35/18

4S’s are great tires and not really comparable to the super 200TW tires. They are great all rounders. Of course, Michelin now has the 5 rolling out…

 

B-stones, in my size, are $100 more, per set, than NT01.
I'm good with that if they are faster and wear anywhere near as well.
