The point is that the S-04's are quite a bit cheaper and other than the ultimate dry grip they'll do fine.
Yea the treadwear is terrible, i managed to get them price matched and got all 4 in the nismo wheels sizes for 884 i think a couple of months ago. I had to haggle a bit though, not something the avg comsumer does. And the Pole positions were 7xx. I heard from many track rats the poles are better then the stock re050s, and to me the re11 was an improvement over re050 but not by the praised margin given here. My next set will probably be pole positions or the new re71r mild to wild ha
