ah...but when you say different class....are you saying the RE11's are more performance oriented? And if so, the Michelin PSS's are not in the same performance class either? Sorry for my lack of tire mojo :tup:

yah, just want to clarify that by "class" im referring to the tire performance classification, not where your car would be classified in an autox.

i dont think the PSS and RE11's are direct comparison as S04's are more for street/high performance like the PSS. PSS vs S04 would be more in the same performance class, i think.

Yeah I called tire rack today asking about projected availability and although he couldn't give me specifics he highly recommended going with the RE11s for my 19s.

You are right on. I do think the PSS is faster than the S04, but that's another story. I ran my car with the RE11, it was nearly as fast as myself running a 997 GT3 on PSS. Unless you are drinking the Nissan kool-aid too much, I highly doubt you think it is possible for a 370 to keep up with a GT3. It's the tires.....

So you're saying the RE-11 A will only be in smaller sizes listed?

bmarcinczyk14 01-22-2013 10:40 PM

^^^^ I'm wondering the same as well. I was so excited when I hear about these because I was planning on buying some RE-11's around the time these will be out. I really hope they have them in bigger sizes than listed above.

clintfocus 01-22-2013 11:45 PM

im hoping for 285/35/18

At the moment, that is all that Bridgestone has 100% set their sites on for sizes. I work for Costco in the tire center and I called our Bridgestone rep as I am also highly anticipating these for my next set also. There will be more tire sizes released before the official drop of these tires around March. They did state though that the RE-11's will still be around for the sizes that the RE-11a's will not come in. But they did say a fairly limited amount of sizes are going to be chosen even in the long run. The RE-11a's will not fully replace the RE-11's. LETS ALL CROSS OUR FINGERS! :p

I'll be crossing my fingers for some 265/35/19 and 285/35/19's to come out.

I wish the same, also for RE11-S haha.

But hey, pss wasn't available in 265/35/19 and now it is, some wishes do come true!

996 gt3 I assume? Why did you switch from the P Corsas?

What's the RE-11-s? Or do you mean RE-11's? I know the RE-11 has both 265/35/19 and 285/35/19.

997 GT3. 997 GT3 can come with Michelin Cups or Corsas. It was switched out to the PSS as the car was no longer being used at the track or autox. The owner just took it out for an autox when he had the chance, I just happened to have a chance to turn a few laps in it. My RE11 definitely had more grip even though his GT3 was superior in every way. The power, suspension and chassis actually made up the difference in tires too.
