A couple notes on the 325/285 RE-11 set up on my white 2010 a few pages back.
Car is flat fast in corners. So much lateral g now that it is apparent that better sway bars are needed - in the front for sure. Ive never owned a car that would corner like this.
Took it to the drag strip last Sat, and was a little disappointed in the hook from the 325 RE-11. Also paid a penalty in rotating weight because the rig was slower across all timers than I expected. Sixty foots were 2.18-2.20 where they were 2.12-2.14 with 275 Potenzas previously.
I found the 325 RE-11 on the 2013 Nismo wheel to be 3 lbs heavier than the original 275 Potenza on Ray/sport wheels. Not that much different.
Mileage is down about 2 mpg as well, but don't care.
Ride is improved, and tire noise is only noticeable at 45mph. Steering effort has increased with the 285 fronts, but I like it better this way.
Car tracks perfectly, and is hands off at 75 mph on the rough Oklahoma interstates.
Very pleased overall, but ordered some 285/35/19 MT ET Street SS to use on the dragstrip, we will see how they perform.
