I'll let someone else be the guinea pigs. Im in if its faster, but with the earlier Bridgestones being slowest, I'm skeptical this time around as well

I feel you.

I've gotten a daily driver since my last tire purchase (Hankook Ventus Evo 12).

I'm all ready for an extreme summer tire. Decided on the RS3........and now TireRack says May to June.

Yep, and a long wait for the rears.


Bad timing giving the approach of driving season.

Why is it that every year I am waiting for my R-S3s to arrive in time for race season?
I have a little life left on my current set so should be okay until June(ish).

I will try the 71Rs for my street tires this year and see how I like them.
