Default Soo went Auto-Xing this past weekend **Thrashed Nitto INVO content**

Sooo went Auto-Xing this past weekend, and totally destroyed my Nitto Invos.

My Review:

-Extremely soft sidewall=squishy performance
-Very sensitive to pressure....had to lower the rears a little bit in order to keep the rear planted during hard braking.
-Great DD/Occasional Canyon Run tire, but not suited(once again sidewall=too soft) for a "*****-out" auto-x/track day.

So now I ask thee dear AudiWorld what shall be my next tire. I'm looking at going with the Bridgestone Re01-R, but I'm a bit skeptical as they are only a 89W load rating with no XL load rating. Do you think I'll be ok...or what?
If no what can you guys recc. to me that is comparable in a 245/35/19. Thanks in advance guys!

P.S.: Here are some shots of my thrashed INVOS

Default Nicely done!...And considering I JUST had to replace my tires...

I suggest the Potenza Pole Position Re050s...got the 245/35s and they're awesome for what you're lookin at my friend. Give em a looksy and let me know if you want more details. And are you comin up this weekend!?!

interesting, the rs4 guys run RE-01R's...maybe the smaller size = no XL load rating?

Interesting to see a review of this tire. Haven't seen too many of them for the Invos. I am taking a look at the NT-05s that are gonna be coming out, those look promising.
