Are they quieter than stock? I'd like to hear my exhaust more!

True, they are not cheap. The way I look at it is that they will definitely go longer than the stock Bridgestones and outperfom most everything except for maybe the RE-11 or S04 Pole Position, maybe. I have 10,500 miles on them and still around 6 to 7/32" on the tread. I fully expect to go beyond 20,000.

I'm at 25k on my stockers.

That's good to hear. Any track days at all? I'm hoping to get 20k out of mine and hoping the re-11s I plan to get afterwards will last a little longer than people report.

Debated on getting a aftermarket oil cooler after I just got her fluids changed at the dealership.

Ok folks..it's time to get my ride some new shoes! I just made the decision and Im starting to weigh the pros and cons!

Conti?
RE-11?
RE-50?

Suggestions?

with Mr.onzedge, otherwise, why not thinking about Continental DW?? I haven't driven with it but have a set coming for my 19, people who used them all say it is quieter than the OEM and it's a decent tires for DD.

brucelidat · 03-08-2012, 01:10 AM

Wow, the Pilot Super Sports are pricey! Over $100 more for the set than re-11s! What are the pros for these over the RE-11s? I have been under the impression that those are tops for grip and performance (along with ad08s).

No track days yet, but there's an opportunity to go driving on Daytona International Speedway that I might go for!

happytheman · 03-08-2012, 07:21 AM

Wow! Went to bed, got up, fed the dogs, fixed the coffee and I'm still the first to post here this am!

Getting ready to slide her outta her warm bed and take her for a drive!
