Bridgestone RE11: After 12K Miles, theUndisputed KING of street tires. Review inside

Seems I cannot find the RE11 in Australia, is the S001 a good replacement of the RE11?

S001 is the RE050a replacement,not very good.

Well according to caradvice.com.au:

2016 Performance Tyre Test

The S001 is very good along with the Contisport 5.

And the RE050A good all round and has very good milage out of it. Since my Z is a DD I think it would be more ideal for me.

Stock suspension since I live in PA and like my bodywork and underside of my car in one piece lol

I push my car pretty hard at zdayz to where I've rolled sidewalls on the pss and actually had the RE give way slightly this past year but that was a late braking mistake on my behalf.

Chasing my friend down on hellbender we were touching triple digits a couple times. Not recommended for safety and clean underwear purposes.

I may add a front sway before this years trip to zdayz but most likely leaving suspension alone since I'm done putting money into this car aside from maintenance. Time for a new toy.

I plan on ordering my tires in the next week or so. Most likely getting another set of 265/305 RE11 but slight chance I may try the new ps4s.

I am installing a new set tomorrow. My rear tires are gone and the fronts have been on both of my cars for the last two years and over 40K miles. They are only half gone but I am replacing them anyway.

Lol, I heat cycled my rears and now they are good for nothing but burnouts lol! They 14k including eight 20 to 30 minute track session on them. The hockey pucks have just under half thread left. The fronts are good to go!

Ah, new RE11's. Slipper as Owl dodo until the sealer wears off.

Just got a set of 265/305 from Discount Tire. It was $90 more than Tire Rack's price, but it included, mounting, balancing, disposal, TPS rebuild and tax.

Going to order 265/305 Re11 from tire rack, to replace my original S001's.
Only have 5000k on them with three track days. Lots of tread on the S001's,
but they are too hard of a compound for the track. They are fine for normal driving. Will be testing new tires along with new oil cooler and Hotchkis sway bar at Sebring next weekend.

Are These Just As Good...
STREET USE ONLY - NOT FOR TRACK

Just got the car back. The S001's are like rocks compared to the RE11's.

Optimiser

I've just invested in a set of these. They are a newer technology tyre compared to RE11's which I considered first. I've yet to try them on the track but will soon.

From where is everybody ordering their RE11's (OEM 2012 NISMO size)? I saw them on TireRack, but did not see them listed on Discount Tire's website (in NISMO size, anyways). I was hoping to compare prices from a couple different places before ordering.

You may want to call Discount Tire to get quote. They gave me a slightly better deal than tire rack on my last set of RE-11s.

Tire rack has RE-11's on closeout . I hope that doesn't mean they are discontinuing them. RE71R's dont last nearly as long I hear.
