Bren, I think Josh sometimes autocrosses on his street tires, so he might want them to be decent. I may be wrong, though.

Yeah, my initial plan was to get a new set of 710s, but the number of days where it's been unambiguously not rainy enough to risk driving to FedEx on R comps has been, to date, 1.
The autocross thing cuts both ways; on the one hand, I want decent tires. On the other, autocrossing tears the shit out of your street tires, so spending a monster premium for PS2s is hard to justify. I was thinking that made the AD-08s attractive, but I have no experience with them.
I can't keep the various Bridgestones straight, but I didn't really care for the OEM Bridgestones on either our WRX (RE070s?) or our 335 (but those were RFTs). I'd be willing to give the RE-11s a shot, I suppose.
