Haha, I read what you said, but why would they keep two different tire compounds when one is superior to the other, and having the exact same tread pattern? I don't see what would be the hangup. I don't see it being that expensive if it's just a change in the rubber compound.

Heck I get confused when I see 10 different variations of the Re050a's when the only thing I can see is one is run flat and the other isn't.

BTW, normal RE11's are restocked on Tire Rack.

It realy doesn't make sense for Bridgestone to do so....much less the RE-11a's are actually priced cheaper then the old RE-11's...
