Bridgestone RE11: After 12K Miles, theUndisputed KING of street tires. Review inside

JAYNO20 · 09-04-2013, 06:11 PM

I might be getting the new ones soon.

exedy699 · 10-16-2013, 04:42 PM

So I have in mind the following setup:
Front:265/35R19
Read: 305/30R19

Mounted with stock Nismo rims (13).

Looking to do about a track day a month, and DD.

This week I bought (on sale from TireRack) 4 RE11's and had them installed today. They replaced set of Yokohama Advan Sports with 23,000 street miles. MUCH quieter than the Yokohama tires! I'm a happy camper.

Should have gone with a square setup for track.

Can I buy you a beer at Terranea? I have my car too, lol
You can verify that I'm a 370Z member with a 370Z! Lol

(I wanna see the brake ducts in person and meet a really local 370 member)

Thats the set up I now have with the RE-11's (but on 19x10 and 19x11 wheels) love it

I had 275 up front for awhile.

14k miles still about 50% tread left however there must be a graduated compound because my traction is GONE. Stab the throttle at 10 mph and they spin like crazy! Looks impressive to other drivers but not good for performance.

pokeyl · 12-14-2013, 10:04 PM

18K supercharged miles

N8GTOL · 01-25-2014, 10:21 AM

FYI...I just scooped up a full set of these off of tirerack for $1100 shipped! 245/40 and 285/35R19. These are the newer 200 tread wear version. Can't wait to get them mounted after I milk a few thousand more miles out of the stock RE050As.

ltullos · 01-25-2014, 11:14 AM

Can someone explain why I was only able to get 6000 miles on the rear RE-11s on my Z32TT? No track time, no burnouts, completely even wear. Nice grip and handling but almost less than half the tread life of any other tire I ran.

FairladyZ10PG · 03-27-2014, 09:54 PM

I have roughly 10,000 casual miles on them and my car was hydroplaning everywhere during the recent rainy season. It scared the crap out of my gf and I had to get off the freeway and take the local streets. I just thought I'd share.

maybe because its a track tire

stratburst · 03-29-2014, 11:18 AM

I've had mine for about 10k. Its a very good tire when fresh but they lose some grip and get louder as they wear. Not a bad tire overall but they are a little over hyped here. I'll likely try the ADVAN's when this set is retired.
