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

wilsonp · 05-17-2013, 02:26 PM

Tire Rack says Bridgestone are creating new molds for 200 tread wear for RE11 so it will be several weeks to months before they get them in rear sizes so I am considering Michelin Pilot SuperSport or Sport PS2s...

*sigh* Now the RE11 285/35/19 Pilot SuperSports are 6-8 week backordered. Maybe I will go with the 305/30/19. Or just the stock sport 275/35/19.

Does the 315/30/19 not fit? Seems like it is closer to OEM sizing...

check my recent posts about the PSS, I have been all over the forums about them, don't drink the Michelin juice.

What was the tread wear before the 200 wear came out for the re-11's?

They don't compare in terms of grip, don't try or bother

Hotrodz · 05-25-2013, 07:38 PM

I'm in need of new tires now. So my question is do I go with RE11' s in OEM size (can't get them in the lager size)...or PSS or 0S4s in 265 & 305 configuration. Thanks for the feedback in advance!

pokeyl · 05-25-2013, 07:43 PM

Tirerack has a good deal on Potenza S-04 Pole Position right now. Under 1K for 265/35-19 and 305/30-19. If I needed a set right now I would be all over this.

Hotrodz · 05-25-2013, 07:48 PM

Yup, I have been contemplating them for sure!

stratburst · 05-26-2013, 12:00 PM

Very frustrating. After a lot of research I finally decided on RE-11's 245/40-19 285/35-19. Now I can't them! Anyone have any leads on them? The summer rains are coming so I can't wait for the the new ones to come out.

Hotrodz · 05-26-2013, 01:25 PM

I'm in Phoenix visiting my brother and thought I might get lucky and find tires while I'm in the big city. The only company that could get the RE-11s was Tire Pros. I think some companies may still have them in their warehouses, but stock is limited to OEM sizes and the quantity is low. That is why I'm thinking about getting the S-04s, they are in stock and the price is right. Performance wise I don't see much of a difference between them and the PSSs to justify the $300 in additional cost!

Hotrodz · 05-29-2013, 10:37 PM

Thanks for all the feedback

LOL...I could not find a full set of RE-11 so I have S-04s coming in 265 front and 305 backs.

LunaZ · 06-09-2013, 08:50 AM

Looks like 285/35-19 is no longer available. Crap!!!

Anyone running the 305's on their Sport Package wheels?
I'm sure they fit fine on the wider Nismo wheels, but I don't want to run into any issues, excessive bulge or ??? with my setup.
Also running a 20MM spacer in the rear, lowered on Swifts.

stratburst · 06-09-2013, 09:33 AM

With the re-11 gone and the re-11a not available in the sizes I need in the foreseeable future I thing I'm going to pull the trigger on the S-04. Am I going to be happy going from RE050's for street use?

Raf370z · 06-09-2013, 08:34 PM

I just recieved mines yesterday from onlinetires.com (re-11 285/35-19's).

Cool, thanks!

stratburst · 06-26-2013, 08:21 PM

Got a set on the way too. Just an FYI Bridgestone has stock. Your tire dealer can get them if they bother too.
