the RE-11's do grip much more and feel more stable than the PSS's. on the dragon I rolled a PSS. the RE's just grip and went on it.

o ok, I was told or I read that unsprung mass (wheels tires rotors) was way more important and had a bigger impact.
but I'm almost set on going with the re11's this year to try em out in 245f/285r |

I run 265/305 RE-11s for the last 2 years now and love the set-up.

If you are that concerned with weight get light weight rotors and that will make up for the extra tire weight and then some.

can't wait, think I'm gonna go with the sprinkle pattern but haven't decided. I just wish re11's has the size selection that pss's have with a 35 profile like the 255 or 265 tire. or even better yet a selection of the re-11a's..... |

I live in Florida and end up in the rain at least 2 times a week. The RE-11's hold as well or better than the factor yokohama or the continental dw. Even down to the 2/32 bars I still have wet traction. I know the water has to go some place. The outside has huge channels even in the worn state. It is time for new shoe's but I thought you should all know I still have wet traction. Dry traction is insane, STILL!!! 265/35 front 305/30 rear.

Lol, I just replaced mine today as was at 2/32 bars as well. I also drove this weekend in the wet and they still pretty good. The new rubber is awesome!

RE-11's...305 and 265! I decided not to with the big boy shoes for now as I still don't know what I want to do for wheels in the future.

I'm gonna be in the market for some new tires for my NISMO (OEM NISMO wheels) here pretty soon. I'm debating between the Bridgestone S-04's and the RE-11's. Are the RE-11's worth the extra $350-400 over the S-04's? I use my Z for street driving with an occasional auto-cross race.

I second that motion. I recommend 305's for the rear and 265's for the fronts. I just put a set on last month!
