If you have the ability to wait a month or two, you may want to see how the latest crop of tires work out.

A few reports say the the new RE71R is very good.

There is also a new Rival compound that is just coming out.

The RS3 Ver. 2, which I believe came out near the end of last year supposedly solved the poor wet and cold performance of the previous RS3, but I wonder if they have ruined the heat tolerance the way Dunlop did with the ZII.

Apparently Dunlop tried to fix the poor cold weather performance of the ZI when they developed the ZII, and they certainly did that, but the hot weather performance suffered greatly. The ZII StarSpec came out late last year, and I hear they are improved, but I wonder if they are still giving up higher temperature performance.

NT-01's do quite well in hot weather, and not so bad in cool weather if your rules allow.

Of course, if your rules allow you to run A7's, nothing else will touch those.
