295/35 R18 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS
rated 69%
A tire that can do autocross and track days.
the 71RS warms up fairly quick and has good grip, more temp has a small drop off in grip, but it levels off.
Means you have 1-2 flyer track laps then times will drop 1 second or so.
but it levels off and you can PSH hard without any lap time increases.
track days do increase the tire's hardness, and that makes warming up for autocross harder.
the RS71RS at 75F sitting are about 55 on the durometer
after 113 autocross laps and 15x 20min track secessions, the durometer at 75F is about 70.
A BIG increase in hardness. at that point it's a track only tire or you need LOTS of temp to get any grip back.
113 autocross laps and 15x 20min track secessions and not corded yet, a durable tire.
-3.5 camber +6.0 caster Zero toe on a 1992 Camaro.
Rear end is a Solid axle
wet grip is bad unless you can get the tire warm
the A052 will still win out in low temps and rain conductions
the RE71RS tend to work better on heavier cars, 3,000lbs+
The lightweight cars like Miata 's tend to favor the A052

1992 camaro
18x11 S71 Forged wheels
295/35r18
Autocross:
no a good tire to use as a single driver
warm up is semi slow compared to the A052
unless it's 80F+ out a A052 user will beat you
they have turbo stiff side walls that make them a good choice for FWD cars or cars that can't add a lot of camber
I run -3.2 camber and could probably get away with -3.0
hot days are pretty good
tire likes be be around 120F-125F with a pyrometer
Track:
they warm up quick, and go 2-3 Hero laps
then fall out 1-2 seconds
but they stabilize and you can drive flat out from then on out
wear is pretty good
These re71RS have more lateral grip than braking and acceleration.
they don't seem to like combining both acceleration and turning
A052 and Hosier A7 seem way more tolerant of that.
steering is very quick
feedback is good

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
rated 83%
Needed tires on the back of my Mustang. I had serious traction issues before and after going 295 I hoped I wouldn`t still be burning rubber in most gears.
Expensive but you get what you pay for. Most important thing is now I have traction. I can hook up and accelerate without snaking all over the road. Even able to drive in the wet although not with any conviction. Thats good enough for me. I didn`t add a progressive rating as I havent had the car at the limit-and never will probably unless I manage a track day.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
rated 63%
Superb grip which I imagine is the idea for this car - built and geared largely for acceleration. Very noisy and harsh, the wear is not too bad for a car 'derestricted' to about 425 BHP - I drive gently and expect to get about 20000. The noise and stiffnes just gives a coarse ffeling to the ride. Not many tires this size to choose from but am just about to try a set of pilot Sports (£1170) and see how they go.

Writing about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
rated 97%
This is my first set of Vredisteins 295/35/18 back and 255/35/18 front...I've had about every named brand tire out there and I have to say these will not be beat.
Well it's hard form me to say how they wear because I've only driven around 1000 miles on them. I have to say they are fantastic performance tires. My e39 puts out about 410-415hp with the upgrades, so if I hammer her down it puts the tires to the test. I'm a pretty spirited driver and enjoy putting my stressing my tires to the limit...and that I have. Higher speed cornering on the on/off ramps are amazing. I took a friend out one night and he said if he had taken the curves at the speeds I took them, his jeep would have turned right over. When I take them to to limit that are amazingly balanced and when I force them to cut loose they are easy to get back into control. Pure 0-60 times have improved dramatically, although I still have a tough time in first gear with spinouts...lol but not near as bad as my michi's
For the price no other tire in the world competes with these as far as I'm concerned. Grade A/A+
