i asked myself the same question i have yokohama parada spec 2's...they worked fine for me there in the dry..in the wet i just took it easy full stop..didn't wanna be a hero..thing is the the ring the track surface change half way round i found and get's more tyre noise...tip for you don't over inflate your tires because they get very hot and the air expands inside balloning them as i found out when i had a nice spin there..don't spare on the tires they are mighty important

Performance Friction discs and Z rated pads - never faded, always spot on and did 3 back to back laps at one point all in the mid 8mins. I seriously cannot fault them.
Tyres - RE070's are truly perfect for this place. Just hard enough when you get the pressures right and geometry is good. Ran on the 888's too this year and initially I thought they would get very hot and go squidgy - they did but they go beyond this stage to being very hot and gripping like glue ! 80c surface temperature even across tread.

Paying a visit this w/e, with a set of RE070's, fingers crossed they work ok and the weather stays fine.

Have to agree with Ducan , the Potenza's RE070's are great track tires especially with how hard the side walls are.
I have had toyo's T1r's on track and found they need alot more air pressure put into them in order to stop them rolling over on side walls. I would say however that the toyo's are better in the wet. I guess it depends on your driving style and set up.
Thread hord : Did anyone find the 070's in 18's yet?....I know there was a few threads on this previously????
