Hi All,

As track day season approaches I am gearing up with new tires and wheels (EC-7s) and planning to run 235-40-R18 up front and 265-35-R18 rear. I will be on stock suspension with Carbotech XP10 pads, with plans to do coilovers at some point.

For 2017 there seems to be many new choices in the 200 tread wear ultra-performance tire selection.

Can anyone provide input on the following tires?

My requirements are to get close to 10K miles, 5-10 Track Days, not swap tires driving to and from the track and no fender modifications to get the tire to fit.

Brand: Bridgestone
Model: Potenza RE-71R

Brand: Dunlop
Model: Direzza ZII Star Spec, is there a newer version coming out?

Brand: Falken
Model: Azenis RT615K+ and RT615K

Brand: Hankook
Model: Ventus R-S4, I have left out the R-S3 as I cannot find it on Tire Rack and assume the R-S4 is the replacement.

Brand: Kumho
Model: Ecsta V720

Brand: BF Goodrich
Model: G Force Rival
