RE-11's. Impressions and review
 

Let me start off by saying wow! Just wow... these tires have so much grip! It was 25 degrees when I test drove after install. In first gear starting around 4k rpm I dont loose traction until ~6300-6500 range. I would have been spinning all day with my stock setup. Today its raining and 35 degrees and I am still getting better hookup than stock in dry conditions! I really cant wait to give these a try when it is warmer out! Went though some puddles, no hydroplane at all. And road noise is a lot better. I might be crazy but ride comfort seems a little better too

Those are on my to do list :) I want to to mount them on 19x9.5 and 19x11 Work Emotions... Glad to hear they work well cold and wet. The only thing I worry about is the roads in Las Vegas get oily when it rains, especially the first 10-15 minutes.

Yeah, doesnt matter what kind of tires you have, fresh rain with the oil on the road is game over...

I'll be picking up a set in July to help with my autox. Gonna learn on my crappy tires for now and compete next season!

Careful running hard in those kind of temperatures, the tires are not designed for that.

Boy, there is so many wrongs in your post. Pushing tires hard when brand new. That's a no. Then pushing it hard the rain as you said '' no Hydroplaning'' like you where trying to.

They are great tires and I loved mine. But I feel my AD08's have a advantage. Plus just a little cheaper.

ADO8's cheaper? Please tell me where. I am interested.

Tire Rack. Just a little. About $30 per tire.

Cool.. Not by much, but over a $120 for a set is a good savings. Thanks Chris

Enough to offset for an alignment.

I have RE-11's love them. I work for a company of Bridgestone and got mine cheap. Grip is great on and off track

As to pushing the tired hard when they are brand new. Yes, i tested them out. Im not going to baby them for 500-1000 miles without seeing what they can do first. Its not like i was at the track racing. Just some simple testing. Maybe 4 of 5 WOT runs not back to back. As far as the hydroplaning thing, that was just an observation. When on the highway i noticed the car was not floating all over the damn place due to the rain. With my old tired it was down right scary. And when i went thought a puddle (unavoidable) that normally would had me have a death grip on the wheel it just sailed right through. No problems

Nice, I'm picking up a set in a few weeks for spring, can't wait. Hoping to do Time Attack every other weekend..

I'm going with a 265/35 in front down from a 275 I have now, 305 in back.

Can we buy tires from you???

Yes please!

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.

Lol wish i could sell them.

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.

these tire rock have on my car an run the **** out of them they are cheep for what you get.they are also great rain tires

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. :bowrofl:

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.
