The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R is a class leader in 200 TW tires. You certainly won’t get the same life as a set of Michelin 4S, but the grip will be insane, until you step up to the Pilot Sport Cup 2. Also, I think the Bridgestones come out almost 150 bucks cheaper than the French tires.
Don’t get me wrong, love me some Michelins. There are just, potentially, better tires for grip.
The new Yokohama Advan A052s may well take the 200tw crown from the Potenza RE-71R. Early test results indicate better feedback and more consistent performance at high degrees of slip. We’ll see in about 3-weeks what top competitors are running at the SCCA Solo Nationals. The Street Classes by and large require 200TW tires. The top competitors will likely be on Bridgestones or Yokos. We’ll see who comes out on top.
