Thx everyone, i appreciate the input. Looks like I will prob be getting RE11s in 285/35/19 all around.

Cossie- how is your front tire wear pattern and do you track your car?
thx again

There is definitely some funny wear pattern due to the track days and autox with the car. It also has a lot to do with the lack of camber on the 370. It is definitely better than the 350, but don't expect an even wear across the tire. Still, the tires aren't really going to last long enough for you to care about the wear pattern anyway. These are really 10K-18K tires at best. I took off my 265/285 from last year with 9000 miles on it with the front having been bald on the outside and 2/32nd on the inside while the back has about 3/32nd all the way around. I did 5 track days and 200 autox runs on them. I have no problem with the wear rate, I am just pissed over the replacement cost ($300+). I am expecting slightly better wear on the 285/285 since I won't push my fronts as hard to get rid of the plow with the 265/285. I will most likely ride out these as long as I can, swap the back tire to the front and use last year's 285 in the back for next season. I don't know if my wife will let me buy another new set next year. I do expect even more funny wear on the 285 front due to the stretching of the tire.

I plan to do the 265F and 285R for the RE-11s on my car in a few days. Where are you getting them from for I am looking for a good deal. I had talked to Cossie about this on a thread of mine a while back and he said what I want to get should be fine. I do take it to the track from time to time but only 1/4 mile. Since we got the 19 Rays is it just 19 for rim? I can't remember if they are like 19 1/2 in the rear.
