I can't decide if I'm excited about options, or if I wish it was like R-compounds where there is a clear winner.

Yeah, but clear winner at what?  At Lincoln, I was asking people why they picked their tires.  The most frequent answer (for RS-3s) was "because of the contingency money".  Money talks :)

Or like Bob Dylan used to sing "Money don't talk, it swears!" ... :)

The new RE-71R has appeared on Tire Rack.  Prices look decent.

That said... I ordered some skinny ZII Star Specs myself.

There's a rumour floating around that Hoosier might be coming out with a new 200 TW street tire .... first street tire for them I think....   :)

Sounds like a little bit of history repeating...

I ordered Hankooks for the Miata for this year, because my choices were super limited.

What really, Hoosier is making/made a performance street tire? Not a DOT Drag Radial?

That's what the A7W (street version, 200TW ... naturally) is for!   ;)
