No luck on the Costco Potenza RE-71R's.
Great price at $750 for a set installed/balanced, rebate at the register etc.

They said that the Bridgestone supply has been exhausted and that it may be a couple months before the next batch is ready for distribution.

Anyone know whether Tire Rack still has any?

Plan B would be the Hankook RS-3's I guess.

Any other suggestions for ~ 200 stickiness tire just for track days or are the RE-71R's worth the wait?

Probably at my level of driving I would not be able to get all the performance out of them anyway as I have a lot of practice ahead of me at only about 7 auto-x so far.
