Not yet, but from what I hear they are a great tire. I will most likely try something different on my next set.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport - Great Street Tire, Okay on the track

They will each handle just fine, just that you will be able to see their strengths/weakness' at each one.

PSS' are great for street, but getting them on a track at temps, they get a bit greasy.

RE11's are great for the track, superb grip, but on a street you really don't get them into their comfort zone.

**A Subjective assessment of course.

I am a big fan of the Toyo Tq's. Great tire for Higher HP cars. They are not the best for cornering and are sketchy when switching lanes fast. In a straight line these tires hooooook. I believe these tires are capable of a 10sec track time with a 570-600whp Z. If you want a more all around tire the R888's are great. Charles (Phunk) has been running the Tq's on his daily driven 370z and we have not noticed any wear after 5K miles or so. This is even with a drag day and a bunch of burnouts on the street.

My experience with the Re-11's was very short. I sold them within a month on my 350. If your looking for traction these tires are not at the top of my list.

The only down fall to the Tq's are they only come in a 18" wheels size and a 315 width. The R888's have a more verity in sizes.

I was 30 seconds away from doing a large update and somehow my browser window closed on me. Crash and burn! Update coming shortly.

Thanks, Tony
