re11's
 

tire23 no longer has these tires... anyone know any local shops that do?

if not then it will be a sad sad day for me and I guess i'll have to look at pilot sports or something.

Try 1010tire. They are in Canada, so no duty and shipping is cheap!

I think the RE-11's are discontinued.
The RE-71R's I hear are great tires.
They are $1500 installed and tax in at Tires23 for OEM 19" fitment.

Tirerack.com has some/ but not all sizes,,,didn't know that this tire was being replaced;thought it was a heavy duty grip/traction tire?
I have 18's on my base & the 275/40 rears are available,just they not sure shipment date for the 245/45 front.

Here you go...

Can we go 265 and 305 wide on OEM wheels?
Are they not to wide for the wheel wells?

Search it on the forum/ another member says yes,he's running them- I see tirerack spec says minimum 9" for 265's & 10.5" for 305's...but some other members are running 325's on Nismo 10.5's

I need something of a good traction but won't be scared to dd. lol re11's were perfect.

I might have to settle for s04's :( wish bridgestone wasn't stupid and continued them.

I tried that... 1600 usd shipped to the door
I'm running 265/35/19 and 285/35/19. 305's can fit the rear but with a bit of bulge. 285's fit nice and square.


btw thanks for all the input guys. I've tried a source... i'll let you know if they are able to get it (they sayd 7-10 business days). I'm not going to say who until I can confirm they can get them. :icon17:

Just to follow up I ordered my tires from Steelcase tire'n"mags and it took 9 days for them to get them. I'm currently sitting in line to get tires on. (Btw I dislike this first come first serve thing style)

Good service at the front desk

I'm also looking to pick up some RE-11s. Can get them from the tire rack but it ends up being a bit more than local, plus install. Ill try this tires n mags place and see what happens.

Are RS3's (Hankook) an option? They are a little faster than RE11's and still hold up well wear-wise.

Was looking but would have got the RE they released.. I just like the re11 they are just all round amazing.

Before the RE-71 and Rival-S came out, Hankook RS3 was pretty much "the tire to have" for street-tire classes. Only downside is they need a little heat to get the ridiculous grip they are capable of.

Did you run them before?

Try Kipling tire in Etobicoke there pretty good. Got my my RE05 for my genesis at the time

FWIW, the RE-11 appears to still be available at Edmonton's Costco stores.
Find a Costco warehouse- Costco

I have my new rubbers already. Some shops can get others can't

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.

285's you'll be fine :tup:


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 :ugh2: :icon17::roflpuke2::driving:

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

correction 3 sets of rears :icon17:

fronts I am still on my second set.......

Our '14's tire sizes are 245/40/19 in front and 275/35/19 in the rear. Rather than 275/35 for the rear, I was thinking 285/35. The latter are relatively close to the OEM dimensions, as shown in the photo of the tire-table below. Only about a 1% difference in speedo reading.

Good that the 285 will go on there without hitting anything.

Forgive me for going even more OT here.

Although our vehicle does not need tires at the moment, it will in one or two more summers. I've been going back and forth in my head between the RE-11 and, believe it or don't, the Michelin Pilot A/S 3+, which I understand are tremendous all-round performers for all-season (but no snow) tires. Michelin does have some nice propaganda about these tires
Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus

I understand that summer tires aren't very grippy below 7 C, so that's one of the reasons I'm considering the Michelins. Tonight in Edmonton, for example, we are forecast to go down to +2 C, or even lower. Also, we'll be taking the occasional trip via the Icefields Parkway and the weather on that road can turn very cold and very wet very fast in any month of the year.

Another reason I'm considering the Pilots is that they have an asymmetrical tread design which I believe means that they can be rotated at least side to side in the rear without removing the tires from the wheels. Please tell me if I'm wrong on that.

The final reason is that I think that there's a good chance that the Pilots might have a good tread lifetime. The Pilots have a 70,000 km expected tread life, but I understand this changes for tires that have limited options for rotation. But I'd rather get 40,000 kms out of a set of tires than 20,000.

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... :tup:

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

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

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 :ugh2:

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

Just got my RE-11s put on today at Tires n Mags. Took almost 2.5 hours all in, but they were very good in mounting and balancing the tires. Only issue was that they didn't have a jack that would go around the pinch seam so had to jack up from the sub frame on the front which was tricky with a standard Jack. Other than that I would definitely recommend them because they got a great price and great service.

Also, these tires have crazy grip. Still need to get my alignment later today though.

How much was it for a set from them

yea I arrived early Saturday but they had a huge line. no one came after me ... well a few cars lol but fk I was upset. did a few burnouts behind the shop as well to loosen them up :rofl2:

1600 taxes in for 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 or something like that for me.

Haha nice, I did a few pulls around the corner, but I'm sure they could still hear me.

One of the guys there said another 370z was there a week or so earlier. Black nismo?

Same price for me, very competitive with roadforce balancing

lol it was probably me... not a nismo though.

the guy with the g wanted to buy my fronts but I was like no I still need them hahaha

fyi last year I got them from tire23 for about 1550 all in. they couldn't source them this year apparently so yea I went tires n mag. not bad shop they did well

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.

285s up front?? Whats your wheel setup?

stock 15' Nismo.

:iagree: ??

so 285 front......... how big in the rear?

FYI - just got my new RE-11s from Costco - about $300 each

Compared to Bridgestone S-04s at $833.50 + install and shipping at Tire Rack. That's a no-brainer.

size?
