Andddd thats what I'm afraid of lol. I would like a tire that can last at least 2 seasons and not 1. I do have snow tires on my car for about 4/5 months out of the year. Your still saying that the re71r will only last 1 summer, right?
I heard rs3-rs4 were good, I'm looking for grip, and for multiple seasons. I also have snow tires on from Dec-March/April.yeah they won't last. RS3 or RS4 will definitely get you through 2 seasons if not more. They are very versatile, can track with them just fine as well.
i'll be in the market again soon as my nitto NT555's are wearing out pretty quick. I kinda want something with a nicer ride... Feel like these cheaper options aren't balanced very well, the road noise/ride just isn't comfy. I know you reach a trade off with traction and handling quickly though as you move to other options.
I like the price and looks of the re71r though!! might just have to try that.

I've had a set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports in 225/45 ZR 17 for 1 season so far-- they have great wet traction especially in the Texas monsoons we get. I got them at Tire Rack for $127 ea IIRC. So far looks like 30k miles is likely no problem.i wanna try these. Just hoping i can get ~20k out of them.
I love my conti extreme dw summers. but the tread life is PRETTY BAD. I have maybe 12-15k miles and im down to 4/32 and looking at getting new tires.
The only downside is the Conti Xtreme DW are like 122 per tire where as the new conti extremecontact sports are like 170 per tire. I know its not that much but 200 bucks plus the extra certificate price is a bit to swallow at the end of the day its almost like 2 more DW tires.

Ride quality is awesome, way smoother than anything I ever had on 18 inch rims yet dry traction is even better. G-Force run previously got very noisy once below 50% tread.
I'm on my 2nd set of PSS and I really like them, but I guess the only tire I can compare them against is the shitty stock pzero neros.
Lately it seems like I've been reading a lot of hate towards the PSS, and I've been seeing a lot of people talking about the Indy 500s. My PSS still have about 20k miles on them, but for almost half the price I usually pay for PSS the Indy 500s sound pretty good.
I just got themDoes anyone get the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s anymore?
