After 3 years on Toyo R888's, I just purchased a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's. R888's were pretty well worn after track and AX events, plus the 200 rating on the Potenza's gets me into a different class for AX. Friends have AXed these tires and LOVE them, so I figured time to give them a try...anyone else running these?

Yes, that is what I hear. No way they are 200's, but hey- just following the rules :-)

I was unaware of the "cheater" status of these tires!
