-I had RE070 run flat i assume is pretty similar to re11 , sticked like a glue when warm but slip like a crab on skates when wet. And i get around 5 000 km out of the tyres .

-psc2 good sport tyre, but grip no wear near re070 in dry, the re070 is stiffer too. If u want street driving, use the psc2. Re070 is rather really for high performance driving.  For wet i believe psc2 is better. However i did not have the 2 tyres installed in the same car.

Lol... i was shocked and nearly went bankrupt . The tires was retailing rm2500 each. Then again , i do go quick and accelerate brutally too and its a 800bhp car. After the first round of tires changed , i have to admit that i became more gentle when i drive...!

The first question is to know what car or how powerful is the car that will be running on the racing tyres. An all rounder top spec michelin PSS can still be slippery for a car like GT-R when full throttle.

personally tried r888 and ad08r, r1r on the same car.
r1r is soft and quiet good for daily
r888 has the best grip in dry and I can full throttle at most bends i get full confidence. in wet it's shitty and slippery.
ad08r by far is the most balance btw wet and dry, easy for street and mild touge.

I suppose psc2 is pilot sports cup 2 tyre? never tried it but had a set of ps4s. the cup is for cup car I suppose and it's damn expensive for daily. need some warm up too before we can put the throttle down right?

nowadays for track days you can look at RS4, A050, PSC2

but for high performance tyres that you can also run on track you can look at direzza z3, ad08, v720(cheaper option)

For me I prefer the ad08 among all others.

all i can say is Potenza is a bit hard if you daily whichever car you're putting this on - if it's just a weekend car then by all means.
