RT660 or RE-71RS for 2 driver car
« on: June 11, 2024, 05:42:05 PM »
So it is time for new talon tires.

I had great luck with the RT660 but was wondering if the RE-71RS's overheat easy, wear fast or cycle out faster since the car gets so many runs now.

Opinions welcome.

The RT660 will last about twice as long as the RE-71RS. They are a slight bit slower, but not much. If treadwear is the number one concern RS-4 will last a bit longer the RT660s but are noticeably slower.

Agreed with Tom. On my camber limited car, I only got about 60 runs out of the front pair of RE71RS's. 660's lasted longer and the original RE71R (non S) lasted even longer than those.

We ended up with over 200 runs, maybe 250 on the RT660 and just about to the wearbars, not flipped and no edge cords, can't ask for anymore than that.
