Slightly OT here.

AFAICT, the RE-11 is not available in 275. Will 285 versus 275 be OK on the rear OEM wheels of a touring sport, without any modification of anthing?

How many kms do you expect to get out of your rear RE-11?

Thanks.

It's not available as a 275/45 , it is available as a 275/30. I have my fingers crossed I don't run into traction control issues because I just ordered a set in 275/30 fr 325/30 rear for my 15' Nismo. I'm sure the rear will be no problem but the front has me worried now as theres a 1.05" difference in diameter.

nismo rims are slightly bigger than sport rays right? should be okay...

I do find a bit of pull on certain roads with grooves... but that's cause **** roads not **** tires lol.

I still find my rear end can get a bit squirmish when I push it. heck I even chirp on left turns sometimes

You will, max 3%,,,that's about 3/4" diameter max difference/ those that you ordered are 1.1" difference....Christmas Tree effect.
Maybe they will let you trade for 265/35's front (only about .4" diameter difference)
275/35's are .1" difference,not sure if they are available in the RE11's

I was sweating that difference hard and ended up contacting the seller. They were good enough to let me send the tires back once they arrive so I went with the 285/35 fronts from tire rack which should be here by Wednesday.

285's you'll be fine


mileage on a tire is all based on the operator........... myself I burn through tires like I burn through work socks, I am not normal though.......

2010 40th anniversary owned since new burned through 3 sets of bridgestones in 55XXX kms

so less then 20k cause my first set I babied..... been going through them quicker ever since first set and I have gotten more comfortable pushing it

I'm running 265/35/19 front 285/35/19 rears.

I got about 16000 km out of my first set of rears fronts still have about 50/60% tread didn't measure.

I got a full new set. plan is next year to get new rears burn out fronts and swap to my old fronts.

mind you I am a bit spirited on launches and corners. you can even go as big as 305 in the rear...

last year I did 1/3 DD, 1/3 was weekend cruising and 1/3 road trip to cape Breton. it was well worth it imo. if you want to be a bit more budget pole s04's are a good alternative.

I can't say how good they are but all I can say is the re11's are fkin amazing and I hope they don't fully discontinue. they are a good set for track/weekend warrior (I don't track... yet)

bs you didn't baby anything! lol jk
