Tire Rack no longer lists the 295/30/20, and I just ordered some last month. My TR contact says they aren’t active in the system anymore.

Anyone with Bridgestone direct information able to confirm if it is a shortage or discontinued?

FWIW, there was a stretch a while back when 20” were not available. That led me to downsize to “19. Hope they don’t pull those as well.

I have heard the re71 is being phased out. I wouldn't expect to see them any time soon.

There is a new set for sale in the Marketplace forum.

I remember that time - we were all calling TR for availability and the scarcity made sense to pick a set up

I believe the Goodyear Supercar 3 is available in our sizes. They are getting really good reviews saying that even for a 220tw tires they are as fast if not faster that some top 200tw.

I hope not since I am planning to pick up a set in the near future. Has anybody tried fitting another size of the rears?

Have Dunlop stopped producing the SportMAXXX too?

I’d love to, but not available in the stock sizes.

I'm running 305x30/R19 just fine on 11" wide BC wheels with -3.2 degrees camber. Sorry, I know it's important, but I didn't measure the offset since
they came with the car. I'll mount my slicks on these BC wheels when they wear out since skinnier RE71R 295's will grip a little better when it rains.

I as just about to order new RE71R's and noticed that the rears are discontinued. So what do I get? I mostly care about not going slower at the track, the rest is irrelevant to me. Are the Cup 2's as fast? I know they are a great tire and cost slightly more, but as stated, when I go to the track every couple of months, my goal is to improve my PB lap times, which is why I wouldn't want to go with a slower tire. Going with 285 rears would seem like a disadvantage, even though the car tends to under steer slightly. Thoughts?

Cup2 (N1 compound from the new 718GT4) should be as fast, but you’re gonna pay a lot more. Another option is the GY Eagle F1 Supercar 3, but they’ll be slightly slower. Discount Tire might still have stock on the rears, and maybe other small retailers might have some if you look around.

Good call, I found a set at some random online store. Simple Tire. Never heard of them before. Plus I googled for discount code and saved $125. Hope they come through. Thanks!

Great luck, good for you.
If they don't come through and you want to save hundreds, these are new, fresh and sticky but only for OEM wheel sizes
