I just changed from RS4 to 71R today and I have to agree with you on RS4. I drive a R58 cooper S, it is my daily drive and i do aggressive driving once every week. The tire wear is good (half a year before change) and grip is excellence. But I have notice when you drove beyond the limit, the grip will just suddenly drop. I have slide twice on mountain roads which scary the crap out of me. In term of warming up the tires, I have to issues with that (Since I live in Hong Kong). Wet performance is ok, I only spin a few times at standing start. I never go to aggressive with semi-slick in wet conditions. I hope the 71R will perform better.
You are so right about the RS4. I wrecked my car to the concrete wall of a hill climb track that I’m very familiar with. The tyres caught me totally off guard and they have only done a few thousand kms. No any sign of losing grip but it just suddenly snapped.

Nexen NFera Sur4gs are on clearance in my size(235 45 R17) for 110, and the RE71Rs are on clearance for 167. I'll be going with the Sur4gs at that pricepoint after seeing this video. Thanks : )
Excellent review. I appreciate the thoroughness and comparisons of your overview. (I thought the trees looked familiar, and now I realized I'm local to you! Am I able to get your opinion on a AutoX topic?)
Very nice and informative video.. Im running ns-2r, stiff and not bad. But beein think of rs4 or rt660.. After this info.. i will go for the falken.. Would be nice if u could make a new video about this.. maybe ones a year.. Thx
Interesting thing not a lot of people talk about is the Bridgestone potenza s007a those tires are technically a 240 treadwear however they perform like a pilot super Sport not bad. I feel like those in between number treadwears should also be included in a list 🤷
I have Bridgestone Potenza S007A on my BMW M135i. They are excellent and I rate them higher than Michelin Pilot Super Sport. All tyres were non- runflats.
Great summary of TW200 tires, thank you. One last one to think about, have you tried the Toyo R1R? R1R changed to TW200 in 2016. I have R1Rs on my Lotus for daily driving, but I take them off and put on Hoosier A7 for Autocross or R7 for track days, so I have never driven the R1R on a autocross or track. They are good in the rain.
Great video, very informative, What do you think of the Nitto NT01, I can get them for the same price as RS4's, about au$850 for staggered 225/45R17 & 255/40R17 for a Porche 944 with supercharged 300 WHP, your advice is appreciated
Great review! Super comprehensive! I have an oddball size and my choices really are AD08R, ZIII, Maxxis VR1, 615K, RT660. If prioritizing road feel and controlled breakaway, not outright grip, would you say go with the ZIII or RT660 maybe? Thanks a bunch for the great video!
Great and very informative Question, we race 8hrs races on track here in sweden... 260hk front wd... what 200 tw tyre would u recomend? 888 dont last 8hrs nor does nakang a1 either.. Yoko ad08r last forcever, but low grip...
Hello William, I need some help. I found your video on rebuild vehicles/salvage vehicles. Can I send a link to a car fax car I found. I need to know if it’s worth it. Just lmk what you see based on the info. I’m 17 and really don’t have anyone that can help me with stuff like this. Anyway, hope you see this. Get back to me !
They're just a tick off of the RT660's but you'll get 4x the life out of them. Well worth the trade-off in my opinion. I just bought the RT615K+ also. For track use primarily. If I was prioritizing autocross, I would have gotten the RT660's. I don't have A052 money!
If you're still a novice, it's still an excellent tire to learn from. It was my first 200tw tire that I used a few years back that I tracked and autox. I moved onto tires like the 71Rs and now, the A052s but I have very fond memories with the RT615k+. It's a tire that really helped a complete novice really learn how to drive. If I started out on 71Rs and even A052s, I'd have a harder time learning car dynamics and my progression of becoming a better driver would've been much slower.

2023/10 - great tire review! I would love to see an update for autocross specifically.
Excellent overview. I’m getting RT660s mounted tomorrow for the 2021 autocross season.
Nice, would be nice to see a upated video with some of the newer tyres on the market such as the AD09, RE71RS, V730 and CR-S.
I do have all those data, just no footage to make videos lmao
@@williamyu94 fuck it just use this footage and talk over it
Thanks for sharing!! I was on the edge between NS2-R and RT660 just now, this clears things up!
Really good information, thanks for making this, heat cycling with the RE71R is a big problem that I don't think people really think about.

everyone around me are dropping their RE71s for A052s lmfao
Everyone that is made of money. I just price compared my size and the RT660's are $66 per tire cheaper than the A052.
@@gwcrispi I got my v730’s $80 cheaper than the rt660’s and I heard the rt660s have some delaminating issues
The A052s are great too... a lil oversized and not as good on the city roads.
Include me in that group.
Thanks for providing your experience with all these tires!

i run the re71r and im looking for a good 200tw tire that wont wear as fast. this video helped a lot thanks
You really need a video update on this :) (also on 100 treadwears like AR1)
Excellent review. I appreciate the thoroughness and comparisons of your overview. (I thought the trees looked familiar, and now I realized I'm local to you! Am I able to get your opinion on a AutoX topic?)
Great review. I'd like to see you add the Toyo Proxes R1R and the new (available in June) Continental ExtremeContact Force (Hoosier).
Very nice and informative video..
Im running ns-2r, stiff and not bad.
But beein think of rs4 or rt660..
After this info.. i will go for the falken..

Great review man!
Curious to see you thoughts on the current V730 tire. Seems to have improved upon the predecessor's shortcomings.
They are track tires not autocross tires like RT660's. That's what I've gathered online from many reviews. they don't take forever to heat up either.
@@gremotorsports perfect! That's what I'm gathering from what I've read. Seems like it could be similar to the RS4.
@Tim Fritz I'm planning on getting them too for my FC RX-7
Excellent video, thank you! How are the nankang sr water capability relative the rt660?
Excellent name. Speaking as one, myself :)
Much appreciated 😎
Great review and subscribed..
Have you tried Accelera 651’s? Might be a good budget tire. Looks like Nankang has new 200tw tires, the CR-1.
I have, grip of a 300+utqg not good under heavy breaking or anywhere else.
@@chrisgailey5244 I think he meant the accelera 651 sport which is a 200tw

Amazing video!
I should have taken Notes , but ,I like Yokohama 👍
Well done
RE71RS the best...pity that it's not available in western market?
so they just need to fix the feedback part for the A052 and its like the perfect tire

24:38 My favorite part of the video.
615Ks wear like a 200 TW tire, and grip like a 300 TW tire. Never again am I buying that junk.
Nice ~ Try CUP2 ZP i loved it.
yo @17:46 ur at my local pass in cali but arn't you based in Washington?
also great vid very inciteful
I took the portal
This is all japan

Lol definitely recognize the stop sign, tight road
Great and very informative
Question, we race 8hrs races on track here in sweden... 260hk front wd... what 200 tw tyre would u recomend?
888 dont last 8hrs nor does nakang a1 either..
Yoko ad08r last forcever, but low grip...
hankook rs4
or even direzza z3. It's more intuitive to drive than the rs4.
@@williamyu94 both are not for sale in Eu....
But the A052 is...
Have you tried the kumho v730? Debating on that, rt660, or rs4 after I burn out the sur4s
yeah. its closer to like rs4, really bad in the rain but great in the dry. long life, good grip and superb feedback.
Re71r has been discontinued
Haha, you're back, bro!
👍👍👍
for daily driving, stiffer side wall... which would you recommend?
The new Kumho V730
@@williamyu94 currently not in EU, maybe in the future...but thx
