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

Sharif@Forged

I have Volk RE30's 19X10 and 19X11 on my Nismo and running 265 fronts and 305 rears. I will go 275 or 285 fronts next time as the car pushes a bit more than I like.

We only recommend the best. We are sponsored by Toyo and Hoosier, but still recommend the Bridgestone for street, and no we aren't dealers nor do we get any special pricing from them. Much quieter than the re050 too.

I only got 6K out of my RE-11's but I had more track time. Still wore better than other street tires I'd used in similar conditions in the past.

Right edge of the tire looks like more than a hint of wear but what do i know

Sharif@Forged

It's definately worn more, but that's due to my extreme camber. If this was a set of T1R's you'd be looking at cords in 7000 miles.

I just had RE11's installed and have around 1500 miles on them. Works well in both wet and dry conditions: Florida heave rain and standing water no hydro. Seems to make more tire noise then the DW's that replaced them but transmits less road noise. DW's were down to 3/32 in the rear and 7/32 on the fronts.

I did go up to 265/35 in the front and 305/30 in the rear. Steering is heaver but it's a lot more tire.

26" tall VS 26.7", some speedo error now confirmed by GPS.

All noise measurment were conducted at the same location, time of day and temp, with a cell phone app "something db meter".

All in all, the tires stick like glue as the traffic circle at work is almost a perfect skidpad test area. I have a phone app for G-force but it's hard to drive and watch.

DW's were good but the RE's are better.

THe only other tire that I looked at this time was the Pilot Super Sports.

I'm planning on going to 265 front on my next go around. Might be awhile for my front seem to wear slow. Even with track days and 2.3 camber. Steering might be heavier but for track use it will defiantly give better steer in being are cars are heavy in front. Another reason I'll be buying power sterring cooler.

So what were the db measurements between these and your old tires?

for 9.5" front 10.5" rear 18" rims, what's a good size for RE11 to get?

All i know is that my V12s are great, especially compared with stock Yokohamas. They are very quiet. It would be interesting to compare with Bridgestones, toyos, Michelin Pilot Sports personally.
