Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
I am thinking about these and was wondering if anyone has any experience or advice on these. Thanks!
|
I've had a lot of experience in bridgestones in general, and have found them to be a great tire. Sticky, yet long lasting.

I had 2 different sets of RE-01R's on my old STi (255 wide and 225 wide) and they both worked great. Lots of track days out of them and very sticky. I am planning on RE-11's 265/35/19 up front when the stockers go bald. |

I have re11's on my car, but only 100 miles or so. The 305 width is way more grip that a N/A 370z needs. 4000 rpm launch gives little tire spin. Barely chirps 2nd gear. Can barely powerslide in 1st gear. It's just a LOT of grip.
|
I've had RE11s for over 10k miles at this point (had them since the week the debuted) & still have plenty of wear to go.
The tires are fantastically "grippy," but have good tread life & are more than adequate in wet conditions. Also, for those who've had RE-01Rs, the RE11s are far quieter. |

Awesome, thanks guys!!! These are going to be the ones for sure. Now I have to choose between the 20" Volk GT-30 in Formula Silver or 20" Enkei GTC01's. My wife wants to buy them for me for my birthday. Best Wife Ever!!!

enkei

Do you guys get Car and Driver? They have an excellent 10 or 12 tire comparo in this month's mag. I'm at work and don't have it in front of me, but the Dunlops won.
|
I had a set of Enkeis on my Accord coupe. They were complete crap! Two of four had teh clear coat peel off within 2 months, and then again on another within a year. I will never own another set.
|
^ really? That's too bad since they generally seem to be lighter than most of the competition
|
I only run Enkei's on race cars....really don't have the fit and finish to run on a street car, IMHO. Their only advantage, is they are cheaper, which is why I lot of racers use them on track only cars. :)
And RE-01R's and the RE-11 is one of the top, if not the top street tire on the market. You will LOVE them. :) |
Both those wheels would look good. I would go with what ever is lighter weight.
|
Here is a shot of the wheels that I had. 18s btw
