I agree...they are a pretty pansy looking tire. Very unaggressive tread pattern.

You're right, the way a tire looks is much better than the way it actually performs. I found these for you to look at.

Not saying it matters, just a point of interest...besides, they aren't exactly a killer performer, they are just pretty good for the cost...

I really enjoyed the Star Specs that I ran on my S for a little while.

Fair enough, just giving you a hard time. But I think they are damn good for the cost, and fine for about 95% of the general Z driving populace. They did outperform tires costing 40% or more, to me that's win win.

I picked up SAllen's TE37s with RE11s. After going around my favorite corners I noticed I made the RE11s squeal a lot where the RE050As were silent. Are RE11s just a lot more talkative than the stock tires or was I going faster and just didn't realize it? :P

It seemed to take a heck of a lot to make the stock tires talk on the track too for that matter.
