Bridgestone RE-11

Zed-Hed · 10-15-2013, 02:05 PM

I have re-11s on my car, stock front size and 285/35-19 in the rear. I have more than 1/2 the tread life left. Punctured one rear tire and cannot find them anywhere as they are backordered. Told it will be 1 to 2 weeks but no one is sure. Any advice? Driving on the spare isn't an option.

Tirerack has estimated availablity of 10/18. If you have tried every possible tire place with no luck and can't wait for them to come availbable. You could look at getting the Bridgestone Potenza S04's for the rear. These are the Bridgestone's equivalent to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and a damn good tire. I just tracked with them at Barber. I was going to order RE11's instead of the S04 but with them being up in the air of how long they are going to carry them or if they will switch to the RE11A compound. I decided to just go with the S04 in the interim. Good luck on whichever route you take.
