RE-11's. Impressions and review

geddy lee · 02-24-2013, 02:56 PM

Wait a minute, I don't get it. These are summer tires , right? and you had great traction in 25 degrees, physics just don't agree. Am I missing something here?

I'm not sure what actually classifaction they are but it really doesn't work they way. These tires have a lower compound rating thus they grip more. Regardless how cold tires do warm up and grip. I've only taken that with a grain of slat. There's probably a way better explanation.

So are you saying i am lying about getting traction like that in 25 degree weather? Maybe my temp gauge is off a few degrees, but not enough to negate my previous statement... What better explanation do you have? Oh maybe my car is a lot slower now that i put those momentum headers, tps, and FI CBE on... Sorry for the sarcasm, but why would I lie about getting traction when it is cold out with brand new tires?

What? I didn't say anything about your traction. I was repplying to the comment above me that Geddy Lee posted. If anything I was supporting the traction that this tires put down. Please reread.

Im sorry, i read through it fast and thought you were saying there was another explanation as to why i was getting better traction, not a "better explanation" of what you said.

Just put RE-11's on the rear because my stockers were toast. Love the tread patter and grip thus far. Will definitely throw them on the front once their toast.
