Pros/cons of most popular tires

christian370z

I run RE-11s 265/35-19 front and 285/35-19s in the rear.

1) grip (dry and wet): No comparison over the stock RE050s. I have yet to try them in the rain but they have at least 30% more traction in every situation. They are extremely progressive and neutral at the limits, I haven't had the chance to take the Z into the canyons yet but I need to adjust to the much higher grip level.

2) noise vs stock: quieter than stock

3) tramline/tracking: tracks like the stock tires, maybe a bit better due to the stiffer sidewalls.

4) how do they hold up at the track: N/A

5) tread life from member experiences: Spohn expects 10-12,000 miles out of them including multiple track days. Pretty darn good in my opinion.

6) other thoughts/comments (ex. sidewall, flex, ride feel, how larger than stock tires fit, etc.): I think the larger tire widths fit the sport package rays very well, no significant sidewall bulge whatsoever. Being lowered and having spacers, it makes the wheel tire setup a bit more flush and in my opinion, perfect.
