When I get new tires, I'll likely be going with these.

I was also thinking about getting the Nitto NT05. I like the reviews of the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. They are supposed to be excellent on dry and wet pavement.

I've had the RE-11's on all year. In general they rock, more grip and less squeal than the RE-50A's. Slightly less grip than the RE-50A's at low temperatures until you get some heat in to the tires. Despite the reduced grooving I came 0.1 seconds away from taking raw FTD at a wet auto-x with these. The bad news is that auto-x is rounding over the edges on my front tires pretty badly. Overall tire wear is pretty good though, better than the Star Specs I had on the G35. I think you could easily get 20K+ miles on these without auto-x or track.

have you tried increasing the air pressure? or maybe get an alignment with a bit more camber/caster?
