How many kms do you expect to get out of your rear RE-11?
Thanks.

I'm running 265/35/19 front 285/35/19 rears.
I got about 16000 km out of my first set of rears fronts still have about 50/60% tread didn't measure.
I got a full new set. plan is next year to get new rears burn out fronts and swap to my old fronts.
mind you I am a bit spirited on launches and corners. you can even go as big as 305 in the rear...
last year I did 1/3 DD, 1/3 was weekend cruising and 1/3 road trip to cape Breton. it was well worth it imo. if you want to be a bit more budget pole s04's are a good alternative.
I can't say how good they are but all I can say is the re11's are fkin amazing and I hope they don't fully discontinue. they are a good set for track/weekend warrior (I don't track... yet)
