    Nice choice :Thumbsup: Re-71R are great and the only other tire would run besides Dunlop StarSpecs.

    I looked long and hard at the Dunlops... I like the look and the tread pattern a bit more, but I just couldn't justify the extra $45+ per tire ($30 + $17 discount on the Re-71Rs via gift card after filling out all of the paperwork).

    The mounted/balanced wheels and tires shipped in 24 hours and they arrived 24 hours after that. That's crazy-service! Go TireRack.com!

    Here's a pic after I got 'em bolted up. TY everyone for the input. They fit perfectly (no rubbing) and feel great. I haven't really laid into 'em yet, but I wasn't chirping the tires at every stop light and the turn-in felt very crisp.
