My 1985 Monte Carlo SS Barney...

[SSLance]

Well, I know this...forward bite grip is GREATLY improved... :D Not sure if my 1 year old Falkens were just heat cycled out or if the magic RE71s are just that much better...but I tried a couple of digs in first gear that would have smoked the Falkens and I barely even spun these.



I had stuff in the car with me both trips so I haven't been real aggressive in any turns just yet, but the steering response is much sharper than with the Falkens. May be due to the shorter sidewall, but I suspect stiffer sidewall and better rubber compound are as big of a factor.

Still hoping to make the race event this Sunday for a real test.
