VERY noisy (i don't care), and as you said, rather expensive. If my boxster was a dedicated track car, I'd probably buy them again. But with the AX use, I'm hoping the RE-71r's are a good compromise...

The Re-71 is the hot tire right now in autocross that's for sure, apparently it has grip levels like an r-comp and heats up quick and gets to max grip in the context of short autocross runs.
This year for autocross I am going to run in STU with my Boxster on a set of 18" Cayman S replica wheels with 225/??/18 front (the standard size) and a set of 245/40/18 Hankook RS3 that I had kicking around, they actually came on the fronts when I bought the Cayman wheels... I am not competitive anyway but I have to keep 255 or under to run in STU so I will get a chance to use these tires that came with the wheels. If not for STU I would be in ASP (because of mods to my Boxster) and there is never anybody in that group....
