Bridgestone RE 71RS review first autocross

These are the replacement for the RE-71R, which was one of the best 200 treadwear tires for several years. The original version went out of production in 2020 and was replaced by this tire. It's a super grippy tire, but like it's predecessor, the RS doesn't handle heat well. That means I'll be wetting them between autocross runs.

As I said in the video, I planned to run these until it got hot here in Florida, then switch back to the Rivals. Last week I used the Rivals for some fun runs with a local PCA chapter. Those tires are pretty fresh, 2022 build, stored in heavy plastic bags on a rack, and about 40 runs and about1000 street miles. While they did improve as they got hotter, I still had to dial back my driving. There's no going back, it's going to be the Bridgestones for the rest of the year.

mine chewed in the middle as well, do you think it might be because of over inflation?

Wear is one thing but PLEASE list the different lap time averages between this and your last tyre.
