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

Tedmeister · 04-05-2017, 03:39 PM

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.

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

Optimiser · 04-08-2017, 08:07 PM

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.

I realize I'm two months late on this, but I'm running this sizing on my sport rays (albeit Continental DW) and loved the way the reduced stagger and increased front width helped with turn in. Also gives the wheels a more aggressive, meatier look. Highly recommend it.

Are These Just As Good...

STREET USE ONLY - NOT FOR TRACK

Its the best handling setup I've ever had. Re-11, Swifts w hotchkis sway (full soft rear) , spl rear arms and lockout, good alignment from soho. Highly recommend. I wouldnt change anything. Was a good zdayz this year.

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.

MaysEffect · 11-17-2017, 10:56 AM

They've been discontinued*** since 2015. Everything is old stock.

Oh crap, if that is the case. I better go buy a set soon.

About a week a ago there was only 1 set of RE11 fronts left in the US according to my local Wheel Works. The front were toast and needed a set. They tried to sell me some Firestones but had them ship in a set of 71Rs. Rears are still RE11s and about half way done. I'm thinking the front and rears will be done around the same time now. Drove them a little on Saturday and they felt good for new rubber. Raining around here so driving the beater until it lets off.

B&W_Evader · 01-08-2018, 09:29 AM

FYI, would recommend staying away from the old stock. My rears feel harder than the previous set I had. It was probably already an old set when I got them a year ago. Still sticky in on warmer days but in the rain and cold the break loose really easy.

My set is two years old with lots of tread but they heat cycled out quickly and are only good for cruising and when temps are really warm.

I need a set now for my new rims. I wonder if I can still get them.
