I've never run the V730's but heard good things about longevity but a little slower than the RE71RS's. Do you have any experience with this comparison on the E9X platform? Trying to decide if the price savings is worth the likely hit in lap times... The price sure is tempting.

Thanks!

I will be sure to come back here to answer your questions. I will say that...

1. RE71's do not like heat & weight, I am instructing at Mid-Ohio August 1-3rd and expect it to be HOT, plus my M3 is 3430lbs with a full tank, plus I weigh 220lbs.

2. This is not a competitive event at all, so the way I look at it is that for $400 less I can get a tire that will manage the heat and weight better, last longer, and still allow me to have fun I might as well try.
