Im quite happy with my new Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec's. Got to truly put them to the test yesterday on a hot track. The grip and responsiveness were unbelievable. My new suspension and brake pads also helped. The car is so much more predictable and stable now.
I hesitated for a while between the RE71R and the ZII SS, but had a great experience with the 1st gen ZII, which influenced my decision. I ran with the RE-11 the first year I tracked the 135i, and the tires were exceptional on the street, but not as responsive on the track (sidewalls were softer than the ZII and ZII-SS). Because the RE71R was just released this year, I wanted to wait for other feedback before comitting.
But according to Kgolf, looks like the RE71R is up to the task, and probably similar to the behavior of ZII StarSpec. Sounds promising ...
