New RE-11 A?
 

I overheard some folks last season at SCCA autocross talking about new tires coming out this year and as I watched hours and hours of the Barrett-Jackson auction I found out indeed, there will be new RE-11 A tires coming out in March. I called Bridgestone, but the lady on the phone didn't know anything about it. My question is, does anyone out there know any more details? Changes from current model? New sizes?
I was about to get a new set to put on my Nismo wheels 265/35 F, 305/30 R but may hold off for the new model.

Just came across this article comparing the A's to the current RE-11's. Assuming it's an honest comparison then the RE-11A's are the way to go.

The new Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A touches tarmac in North America for the first time EVER

cant wait.

you called walmart?


thanks for the info on the RE11A though, cause im in the market to get a set of RE11's this season. :tup:

There are new versions of several of the favorite ST tires planned for release in 2013. The new Dunlop Direzza ZII (Star Spec replacement) is finally getting 19" sizes and will be available in the next couple of months so that will probably be my next set of tires.

Now if only the 370Z was eligible for any of the ST classes. :shakes head:

Very interesting

I was hoping to grab a set of RE-11's in March, so this could be perfect timing

Also who knows, if places like Tire Rack might be getting a nice sized stock, deals may be had for the current RE-11 which wouldn't be bad

Damn not sure if I can wait until march. Just saw that my front RE11 corded after 2.5 years on the road and a years worth of autox.

yah, they dont offer Dunlop Direzza ZII in 285/35/19's though, per tirerack...(?)

i had direzza on my previous car and thing was very sticky.

Wow, how many mines have you used your Z, lasting 2.5 years sounds epic lol

Would like to know how these will compare to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports

The fronts probably have over 18K miles. The rear RE11s only lasted until 10-12K miles. In the 33K miles I have put on my Z I have gone thru the stock sport tires, replaced with RE11 in May 2010, and then replaced the rears with another set of RE11s in Nov 2011. Not too bad considering I ran a seasons worth of autox, maybe 12 events and some leisure travel.

different class, i think. S04's are direct comparison to PSS, imo.

Current events says!

#9925 370Z Classing Proposal
This subject is addressed by a Tech Bulletin elsewhere herein, under item #9283.

So you read #9283

#9283 370Z Classing Proposal
Per the STAC, this is addressed by two separate Tech Bulletins:
1) Add to STR: ‘09-’12 Nissan 370Z (except NISMO)
2) Clarifiy 14.4 by adding: “Standard equipment wheels exceeding these maximums are not permitted.”

So we find out that the 370Z is infact STR legal.
