The fastest R-DOT's in a 205/50/15 size are the Hoosier R6's and Goodyear
Eagle RS-TL's. The V710's are just a tick behind those two.

As far as speed differential is concerned, the Nitto NT-01, Toyo Ra1, R888,
and Kumho V700 are ~ .4 to.5 sec. slower / per minute. Most claim the
Hoosier Street TD is on par with these tires, but if you're fast, don't
expect them to last more than two race weekend.

Tires like the Hoosier Speedster and Yokohama A048's are even slower, but
they both wear like iron.

If you're looking for a great, cheap, decently quick, and long last tiring
go with the Nitto NT01. They're the same compound and design as the RA1's
but they are molded to 6/32 and have larger tread blocks. They only cost
$136 or so.

Hope this helps,

Bob
