For those of you interested in the RE-11A.....

Footloose301

You sir should have jumped into the Hankook RS-3's for half the price. Just as sticky. In fact I'm expecting UPS to knock on my door any minute. I got my fronts for $159 each on close out. Normally $339. I believe the 305/30/19 were $229 each.

dont worry, next month someone will say YES NOW IT'S COMING!

f-king bridgestone with their BS marketing for RE11's...

I was looking at Dunlop Direzza ZII's, but the largest they make is the stock SP sizes (245/40/19 & 275/35/19) and only $75 cheaper than Re-11's running 265/35/19 & 305/30/19.

Chrischhorn, I am looking at getting some new tires for the track in 255/40/19 or 265/35/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rear. If I get a set of the RE-11's now on closeout would I be able to get new rears to wear out the set sometime next year?

Or is it once the stock is fully gone on the RE-11 in 19's then you are SOL? If so it may be better for me to get the Dunlop Direzza's or Michelin PSS so I have an option to replace later. Or am I way off on this whole RE-11 in 19's thing and the RE-11 will continue to be made or they will finally make the RE-11a's in 19's by next year regardless of what Bridgestone has said in recent months?

Glad to know the RE-11 are staying around, this means I can order 2 new rears later this year. But sucks at the same time because the new compound for the RE-11a sounds interesting and seems stupid to keep producing 2 different tires.

Are you sure they are staying around? That is what I am asking before purchasing a whole new set. I don't want to find myself next year needing new rears and having to get a whole new set of something else as the RE-11 are still listed as CLOSEOUT on TireRack. Closeout to me normally means its not coming back once fully sold out of stock.

The 98W are on closeout but the 102W have plenty in stock, they might be just removing the 98W from the line up.
Also, betting on a tire to be around every year is usually a good idea but you never know what will happen from one year to the next.

To add to this interesting debate. I decided to look up on tirerack my last order.
305/30R19 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 - No Longer Available (Even though they have plenty of RE-11 in stock)
265/35R19 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 - In stock

that's interesting, i literally ordered 2 305/30R19's within the past hour....at that time it was estimating they had 11 in stock.

I went back to the main pages where both 305/30R19 are listed and both are in stock, I wonder if Bridgestone has changed more over the years with the 305 RE-11 and the version I bought are gone. Might even be that the RE-11 we see later this might be the RE-11a compound, the a might just be a marketing gimmick for the smaller cars.

They had to retool the stamps on it to show 200aa.

I am done with re11 on this car after I toss my current set. I do have to say they are still okay at like 16k miles even though they are completely bald!!

What do you plan on running next?
