Good Tires For FI?

Yeah I started digging through it and it looks like you'd need an 11.5" wheel to pull off 335's correctly.

The RE-11's come in a 305/30 and 325/30
305 - 12.2" wide and 26.3" tall measured on an 11" wheel
325 - 13" wide and 26.7" tall measured on an 11.5" wheel

These haven't been mentioned in here at all but I had bfgoodrich g-force kdw's on my 350z in 265/35/20. I had 430whp and 400tq with these. I thought they grabbed considerably well.

Has anybody else had any experience with these?

I have been looking at these recently. These are 1 of the 3 tires available in 295x35x19.

How was the road noise if you can recall. I have heard only negative reviews in regards to road noise. However the stock yoko advans are noisy and only have gotten noisier as they wear down.

Im approaching 18k and the fronts on the outsides are completely worn down.

I am now considering Continental Extreme Contact DW. Looks like a good compromise, much cheaper then the advans, should have longer life and should be plenty grip for a tt daily.

Any thoughts?

The wear on the KDW's are really good. I actually put 40K on my fronts and they have a good 10K left in them I bet. They are wearing faster on the insides though but thats to be expected. I replaced the rears once but they have held up incredibly well I would say.

Road noise...now that's another story. These are fairly loud. I would say there are much quieter tires available. However, again Im impressed with the wear rate and grip though. I should add warm weather grip. When cold they break loose fairly easy. But not any worse than any other tire designed for summer grip.

FYI. I am still running these on my 370. I swapped them from the 350. However, after I get my twins on ill be smoking these off in no time to go with something better. Which is why im in on this thread.

*Looking like the R888's*

To not have the Michelin PSSs on that list is a bad call. They are in the top 4 imo. That's from driving them on a track and feeling them grip turns and stop on a dime.
