I am on RE-11 285/35 sq. It took away all the annoying understeer from the car and made the car very balanced. As for tire pressure, RE-11s are sensitive. I was told to run 37F and 38R (Always 1 psi more in rear) and in certain pavement I have taken out 12 cars and finished 2nd in CStreet. However, that PSI doesn't work in all surface. I recently found out that taking out 2-3 rear psi in another venue (surface), gives me better time in that specific venue. I'm still open to hear what PSI people are running in their RE-11. Ran into a 370Z owner (stock) with RE-11 (245/35 F and 285/35 R). He was running 40 psi F and 38 R . He was able to beat my time by 1s but he is autox-ing for a while now (more experienced than me) . So you kinda get the picture.

And something tells me we should all be listening to what stuy486 has to say about driving/setup of the car :

AK and cruz....I typically ran ~38-40F and ~28-30R with my 285/35 square RE-11 setup on the 19" Nismo S-Tunes. It's completely dependent on where the tires are happy...with my 295 Rivals, I'm running 34F and 27R.

Yeah, I facepalmed hard when I saw that they included that particular clip. I asked them not to include that part on the show that aired on TV, which they thankfully didn't. The driver profiles all went up on YouTube prior to the show and at that point it was too late to change it. Of course the people who put the videos together probably had no idea there was anything wrong with that clip...

And I almost never DNF, but on that particular practice day my co-driver had claimed to be able to do that section flat, so of course I had to try it.

Hello,
Thinking of Auto X this spring. I have a chance to buy (4) Hankook Ventus V12 evo tires in 275/35/19 for cheap...which is my budget ! I would like to mount them on my stock 2013 Sport Pkg Rays ? Would this work even though my stock front tires were 245/40/19 ? Without rubbing issues ?
Thank You For Your Time,
Bill Miller
