re; The RS-RRs, I definitely would've given them a try seeing how happy I am with the plain RS-Rs, but they weren't available in 205/45/16s. I've been running the RS-Rs in 205/45/16 on my DD and love them. At a little more than 15k on this set, they're just above the wear bars. I have another set going on next week.
I'd considered getting RE-71s, but they were $360 more ($710 shipped via Tire Rack vs $350 shipped for the RS-Rs). I was going to actually swap to the Indy 500s, but Tire Rack had them backordered 30-60 days, and my car needs to be inspected before then.
