it's very satisfying how closely matched the two are.
that said, aren't RE71RS expected to be faster tires? I see that the GRC pulls ahead on straights but loses the lead on corners.

Yes, they are definitely faster tires but 275 width on v370's help balancing it out IMO.
From what I gathered from my catalyst, the average speed in GRC was 2mph faster but EN had 2mph higher top speed.
TBH, I feel like EN pulls a bit harder and get up to speed sooner but the difference is very minimal.

Elantra N could use a real tune
