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

ZForce · 03-05-2013, 05:13 PM

Oversizing is usually referred to as a wider tread. Need to check the tire ratio with a tire caculator like on Americas Tire website.

Yes, the tire sizes I am running drop the front side wall profile from a 40 to a 35. Which using the tire calculator as a comparision from stock and the 265 & 285's have the best ratio to be similiar to stock as compared to other tire sizes.

Get the 285/35/19's. that's what the Nismo uses.

I've done a google search for Bridgeston RE11 and found nothing. I keep getting S-04. Did the name change. Tire Rack doesn't list a Bridgestone Tire with an RE11 Code, nor does Bridgestone. Am I missing something?

See my link a couple of posts (post 89) above for tire racks RE-11.

Hey guys,

I just ordered a set for myself today! Excited

265/35/19 and 305/30/19

Whats better is that the price went down...might be because of the RE-11A's coming in (although they are only doing smaller sizes first)

Anyways, went from $383 to $338 on the 305's and down to $305 for 265 series.

Good time to buy!

Will be buying new meat soon and still haven't decided what I want to run.

Contimplating:
265 x 285
or
265 x 305
or
275 x 305

I know 265 x 305 will give better readings then with the 375, but if I don't really care about that and am just after trackable performance what set-up will yield the best results?

FYI - I'm lowered on swift springs and have 15 x 20mm spacers.

I'm very interested in these. I'm running Michelin SS and have no kind of traction. I'll be a little over 500 HP soon and am worried about keeping it on the road.

tranceformer · 04-19-2013, 07:24 AM

I had my first set of 285/35/19 RE-11's the same time I had my 4.08 gears installed. fast forward a bit and I went cheap a set of used 285/35/19 RE050A tires. ugh. never again. once those were done I ordered a set of RE-11's and what a world of difference!!

Dzel · 04-19-2013, 07:35 AM

Really? This will definitely be my next set. I'll have to burn these up first! Lol

bigdog1250 · 04-19-2013, 09:02 AM

Just got 285 RE-11s put on out back

Still running stock front since I have a lot of tread left but will likely by the fronts soon.

I haven't broken them in yet (only put 15 miles on them so far) but I can already launch harder then with the stock bridgestones.

raymondo510 · 05-13-2013, 12:09 PM

So I'm buying tires for 19x9.5, 19x11 and was gonna run the re-11's but will the 285's be too stretched on a 11? And I don't really wanna go up to a 305

Yea, I'd definitely go with a 305 on an 11" rim.

I went with 285 on the stock sport 10" rim.
The stock 10" can fit a 305, thought it's a bit pinched.

Dam I just ordered hankook 295/30, 255/35 before I saw this. I just hung out with a buddy who had a 305/30, 275/35 on his nismo and he said he's not rubbing at all and it looked pretty good. Now I'm thinking I should change my order
