This really chaps my ***. This would've been my third set of RE-11s/RE-11As. By far my all around favorite tire, to date. No idea why they scrapped them altogether. Sigh.
I'll do some looking into it, but I get the feeling the PS4s won't stack up against the RE-11s, when they get warmed up on the track. |

I track with the PSS's. They will hold up for about 20 ~ 25 minutes before getting greasy. I now have 285/35-19 PS4S on the front. They feel like they have a lot more grip then the PSS's on the street.

Wow the RE-11s were discontinued???? That’s sucks @$$
|
They were discontinued a couple years ago... people were just buying remaining stock, in the system, it appears.
I'm a really big fan of Bridgestone tires. They've never let me down and have generally exceeded my expectations. I feel Michelin will have good alternatives... but they won't be as cheap, unfortunately. Going to Costco again.. hoping they can track some 325s down for me (I went yesterday after the Bridgestone office was closed) somewhere... if not, I'll likely go with 305s in the back instead. |

I would not recommend r71r's for street or track for the most part. My track buddy that I keep talking about has been through 2 sets of r71r's and got about 6 sessions out of the before the steel belts were showing. When I talk to the experience time trial or time attack guys they say the love them but they are only good for one session and really about 3 laps before they start to loose grip. NTO1s are still king for 100 tread wear track tire. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk |
Sigh... I ended up going with Cooper Zeon RS3-S tires.
I was able to get them in 325s and admittedly, they were cheap as ****. I get the feeling these tires kind of suck (who buys coopers?), but, given that I've upped the tire width by so much, I'm still hoping these provide way better grip than the stock Bridgestone S001s. Those things were god awful and I chewed through 60% of them in one autocross day. Being in Canada, all in, with shipping and taxes and everything, I paid about $1250 for all four corners. I'd otherwise be looking to spend about $900-1000 more for Michelin PS4s. I really didn't want to pay over 2k for tires, that may or may not last more than 1.5 seasons! |
In case you wanted to see what these tires look like with a little drop

You went with 325 tire in rear and what drop? Would 305/30/19 look weird with 285’s up front? |

Anyone have a pic of their setup on the 15+ Nismo wheels with 285/35 front and 325/30 rear?
|
So since the RE-11's were discontinued, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's have come out (made by Bridgestone? maybe?) and they seem to be very similar, and they have good reviews on TireRack. Any opinions here?
