Unless you have suspension upgrades, R-comp tires won't do much for you

Up grade your brakes with better pads like EBC YellowStuff
Get Bridgestone Re-71's

Get lots of instruction and coaching

It's highly addicting and a very slippery slope........

+All of these - you are the slowest part of the car, coaching and instruction will be the fastest mods you can make. The RE-71R *is* the hot 200TW tire to have for competition, it sticks like glue, at the expense of faster tread wear and shorter life. I'm still preaching the R-S3 due to its longer life, but probably only because I have never tried the RE-71R.... I am afraid to try it... Also I am funny, I am sticking with the same tire so I can tell if I am really getting faster, or if it is the tire

This is a very helpful thread as I am at the same point. What size Bridgestone or Hankook tire are you using? Tire Rack does not have my factory size in 17"in the RE-71 or R-S3...also checked availability of Goodrich Rivals and Dunlop Direzza Star Specs...not available.
