my thoughts exactly.

can't find any stock sizes for sport Rays on discount tire or tire rack....they discontinue them or what?

Tire rack has them. Search for the front and rears separately then filter by Bridgestone.

Along with that I am planning on getting Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs 25/20 and then 25mm eibach spacers all around. Would that cause any rubbing with the new tire on the arch or should it be okay? thanks!

Well I have joined the the club...okay half that is! My S-04s were not holding grip very well and so I decided to step up to RE-11s. Got brand new rear shoes in 305 r30 19s!!!

So I was looking around tirerack the other day for some new tires for autox/track. Upon some research and finding some info from some japanese sites the RE11 will be phased out by the re-71r. The new tire is apparently better in the wet and has more capable dry grip, but it looks like it will be a symmetrical design, which means compared to the asymmetric re11 it will be LOUD. For all those who love the RE11, you might want to stock up before they stop making them.

^yup I'm getting a new set installed saturday

Hotrodz 02-18-2015 08:06 PM
Yup, I will need to order some for the front shoes too!!!

The description makes it sound like the new RE-71R has limited ability in rain, while the RE-11 is pretty well reviewed for that. Doesn't sound like a very good replacement to me. Suppose I better order the RE-11 for my M235xi soon then.

well the new re-71r will be a better tire as far as grip is concerned (more comparable to direzza Z2 and Ventust RS3) but that's because they're moving towards that extreme performance category more than the next step down. I'm not sure the re-71r will be a good choice for people who don't race their car and only DD it.

I'm not even sure yet if I want to try out the new tire (no reviews outside of Japan), but it does come in 275/35 so I'm looking to run it square possibly!

Got my new set of RE-11s today. Probably going to be the last set of RE-11s for my Z since the discontinuation.

kenchan 02-21-2015 04:18 PM
re11's were once discontinued for the 180AA version. the 200AA version (current) is not discontinued.

FairladyZ10PG 02-21-2015 05:04 PM
^did not know that. Good info!
