And here I was, about to get RE-11 in 305 in the next few weeks. I hope a replacement comes soon - otherwise, maybe S-04 it is.

Those Z2's look like really bad tires for rain, which sucks for me since I tend to drive in rain or shine.
Really wanted those RE-11's too...

Heard very little on the Dunlop, heard from a guy from another guy that they were decent but he was going to get something else next.
I'm happy I grabbed some RE-11's off Tire Rack back in April. They were on sale and had just a few left in 265/305 sizes

I ordered S-04s because I could not find a full set of RE-11s. Right now the price is right on S-04s, about $1000 for a set!!! 265 fronts and 305 rears...

There isn't a direct compare with Re-11s and Z2 yet.
But here's a tirerack.com extreme tire with the Re-11s and Dunlop Z1 star spec (previous version of Z2): Tire Rack Tire Test - Testing the New Extremes of Extreme Performance Summer Tires - YouTube The Bridgestone came on top but Dunlop Z1 star spec came pretty close (correct me if I am wrong, but it was a #1 tire from previous test). The New Dunlop Z2 is suppose to be better than Dunlop Z1 star spec (according to tirerack): Tire Test Results : Dunlop Direzza ZII Introductory Track Drive So I would say the Dunlop Z2 should be better or even closer to the RE-11s. But the bottom line is, I think it's safe to say "Dunlop Z2 is better than stock in rain or shine." |

I feel like the price of the RE-11 made them a good buy as well, compared to the AD08, RS-3, or Star Spec.

Correct me if I am wrong:
If you are looking to compare with RE-11s which are in the "Extreme Performance Tires Category" (not much to start with) AND has sizes for the Z, search the following: Yokohama Advan AD08 Dunlop Direzza Z2 Hankook R-S3 Nitto NT05 Not saying the above are the "only" choice of summer tires but if you are comparing with RE-11s, I would choose from the same category. |

^ You are correct and the Dunlop Direzza ZII and Hankook R-S3 will outperform the RE11 at an autocross or on the track.
If you aren't going to autocross or track then you shouldn't be looking at this type of tire. |

Agree ^... can't maximize the tire on the road.
But is there such thing as too much grip? Question (strictly performance speaking): Would a Max Performance Tire (S-04) = Extreme Performance Tire (Re-11) on the street? |
