I use Bridgestone RE71Rs for both track/street and they are great!
you can look into Bridgestone RE-71R(S) for good grip with better longevity than a052
So I came to event day on my normal Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres. In practice, I found that on the R-spec I could do an 89 second lap, but consistently run at 92 seconds (I could do consecutive 90 second laps, but brakes would become the weak link after about 4 consecutive laps). On the street tyres I could do a 93 second lap, but due to brakes again, nominated at 95 second lap.
If you are getting a decent set, like say Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, you will be in the \~$125-180/tire range depending on size, plus mount and balance.
Absolutely. I live in northeast Ohio which has lake effect snow and I’ve used a second set of wheels with Blizzaks for years. They are almost as good as having 4WD. You won’t fishtail around corners and braking is good.
I drive spiritedly and the performance of the WP has not been disappointing although they are definitely not summer tires I also do not lose traction as easily in water or cold (New England).
So far, I have to say I love them! They are WAY quieter than the OEM Khumo's I pulled off my Seltos and the ride is excellent with them.
Are Bridgestone - POTENZA RE980AS+ any good?
Gonna say running north of 100mph on mismatched budget sub-brand bridgestones is adding a margin of error where you cant really afford one.
I remember going hot into a turn, getting on the brakes, and sliding sideways with no warning. It wasn't that fast, but still a bit disturbing. I replaced them this year with a much newer set of S04 PP.
