at 2x10's.

they do just as good as those shallow ramps.

Still running the original tyres. 15,000 miles. The fronts are fine but the rears are not long for this world - they're about down to the wear bars.
Had to put some tyres on the wife's car this week... Tire Rack is gonna be loving me this month.

Also saw a white 370 not two mile from my house! So unusual to see other triple-seven-dees!

That white z was me!!!! Ok I kid. Other part of the country lol... But yes, gotta love the compliments.

Unless you've become a blonde milf I would've been hard pressed to buy that one!

No track time, but quite a bit of spirited VDC-off driving. I have a tendency to get on the power early on corner exit. Habit from driving turbos, smaller engine cars and bikes

How's everyone's RE-11's holding up?

Yeah, that's what I figure. Also, I check oil before (cold) and after it sits 30mins to an hour after driving (warm).

Sounds great Beach. Good luck with that. BTW, when/if I install swift springs, to I have to get everything readjusted/aligned???

Luna, what are your thoughts on other tires? I'm sure you cross shopped before zeroing in on the RE11s? Like what do you think about the Dunlop Star Specs, or Yokoham Neova's, or my favorites are the Toyo Proxes and GYear F1 Supercar....

Star specs are amazing but don't come in 19s.

I think the re11s win against the neovas for most people's use

Decided on the RE-11's based on other members' preference for them.
I loved the Dunlop Star Spec tyres when I had them on my MS3, but the only go as large as 18".

Yeah my stockies were completely bald in the rear by 20,000. Like wire showing bald. Would love RE-11s but saved some cash and went Hankook V12, which I like for the price. Im very impressed w the wet handling especially after hitting some huge puddles during a rain storm Monday. Dry traction could be better but for the price I cant complain. Hoping to get at least 30k outta the rears this time around.
