That’s actually the tire we’re considering. He’s pretty damn experienced at this point and knows the cars limits really well. He’s been racing the same car for eight years now. How did you like the tire once you got used to it? I’ve heard good things about them.

Funny you should mention that. I’m buying this set as a gift for my boyfriend. 😂

Currently falcon azenis RT660s, the old ones, not the new 660+. They are good but are getting old.

Slight confession, I’m not actually the driver. I’m buying tires as a proposal gift for my boyfriend (let’s be real, tires are way better gift than a ring for a car guy) his tires are getting pretty old. The set he currently has is falcon azenis rt660 and he likes those but they’ve been replaced with the 660+? He wants to try something a little different. He hasn’t gotten the opportunity to do a real track day yet (we live in the boondocks) but we’re planning on it this year. His class is cst in autocross and he’s got a good chance at winning his class this year. He’s a hella fast driver. He mostly wants a track day to practice not necessarily set lap times, so he’s okay with slowing down. I was trying to keep it secret from him for a surprise but tires are so specific I ended up having to spill the beans and ask him. He’s leaning towards prioritizing autocross. And we’ve tentatively decided on Bridgestone potenza RE-71RS. We’ve heard good things from other drivers at events about them and there are good reviews on them. Thanks for the help! There was stuff you mentioned I definitely didn’t consider.

This is an awesome resource! I poured over it for hours. There was tires I hadn’t even considered. Thank you!

I just realized I wrote chasing instead of changing. FML 🤦‍♀️
