Gimme a set and I will. :tiphat:


Are those other tires good on the street? Or just track tires?

I'm the biggest Star Spec fanboy around (just ask m4a1), but they don't handle heat nearly as well as the re11, which is critical with the extra couple of pounds up front on the Z.

How is this compared to the PSS'?

The re11 is a long way ahead of the PSS in terms of high speed handling and heat management. It makes trade offs in terms of pleasantness for those gains though.


The Zii is a tougher tire to nail down. I don't have enough experience in equivalent cars, but I think it does heat slightly better than the PSS. It's not as rough or loud as the Z1, but it is still pretty obnoxious IMO.

How would they handle in the Wet, for a daily? Or stay with the PSS for a daily/fun tire?

I have a set of my old RE11 you can have for free. It's sitting in my shed in CT.

It's not a bad tire at all. I was slightly faster with the Michelin than the Bridgestone, except I was driving a 997 GT3 with the Pilot SS.....

I forgot to mention that you have to be aware of the SS chunking at the track

Awesome driving!

cossie 1600 What exhaust is that? not stock?

fast intentions. at least last time I saw him

The sound came from the GT3 hahaha. The 370 doesnt make any noise. The GT3 is stock

I'm goin rivals on my next set whenever they release them. 315/30/18 on the rears and still undecided between 275 or 295 on the front.

Here are my ZII going back on for this weekend's event. They have 2 hot track days and 450 street miles on them so far. Not much wear yet.

Now I am happy.

Note: I don't track the car and I only driven on stock to compare. And based on my personal driving habits with 300 km of driving.

These tires are awesome! Drove them in heavy rain and dry road and right from the start, they are MUCH better than stocks.

Noise level: a bit louder than stock, there's a "howl" sound driving on the HWY, but it doesn't bother much.

Comfort: about the same.

Going into Corner: more responsive, less under steer.

Exiting Corner: Huge different. With the stock, the traction control goes on and the car continues to slide until letting off the gas to take control. The Dunlops is a different story, traction control goes on for a split second and grips through the corner.

So far, I am much pleased with these.

Just bought a set of RE-11's yesterday 245/40 f 285/35 r for less than $1200. For those interested in RE-11, just gotta call TireRack, or go to your local Firestone dealer and they even price-match Costco's prices. I informed the Bridgestone rep at TireRack that the 285 wasn't online, yet he said it was available. That has since been fixed on their website. As for the RE-11 being discontinued, that is incorrect, as previously thought. I found out that the tire has been updated with a different compound and better sidewall. Treadwear, or UTQG, is now 200, up from 180. It is only by this difference you can differentiate the older version1 RE-11 from the newer version2. So far the version2 have been released in the wider rear sizes, which is fine since the rears wear faster. I don't mind having a stronger compound on the rear and softer version1 up front. Mind you, I am not talking about RE-11a's. Check it out on TireRack. RE-11's are here to stay. All's well in tireland now.

Tracked the Dunlop Z2.

By the end of the day, this is what they look like:

The grip is unbelievable, it's very hard to push the tires to the limit (personally). The tires did not become greasy nor lose "any" grip. Felt the same from lap 1 to the last (approx. 15 laps). Also the sidewall is FIRM, the new tires pebbles are still there.

Haven't driven on RE-11s or any other extreme tires, but it's safe to say you can't go wrong with these Dunlops.
