Anyone tried the Re-11's I am having my tires installed for the CCW's on tuesday. I am going to run 285/35/19 rears and 245/40/19s on the front. I chose the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's because I know they are some pretty sweet tires, but haven't personally driven on them. I was just seeing if any of you guys had tried them yet and what you thought. Alot of weekend trackers swore by the RE-01R's and these replaced those tires, also they are supposed to out grip the 01R's and have a better lifespan. Anyways, what do yall think?

I haven't ridden the RE11s but from everything I've read about them they are a really great tire. The Dunlop Direzzas and Yoko AD08s are awesome tires as well, but I don't think they are available in the size you want. Bottom line is the RE11s are a good move IMO!

Hmmm, asymmetrical tread & no sipes in the the tread . . .relying on the groves for water evaculation. I hope your wet traction is still good once they get about 10k miles on them.
Your rear tire specs-out at 10.3"wide. My Hankook specs-out at 9.8"wide.
Let us know how that works, cause you are cutting it close to the trailing arms.
'good luck',
It's gonna look awesome.

Beautiful CCWs, I remember when mine looked that good...oh yeah, they only looked that good the first day, and I could never get them to look that shiny again. I will give you 6 months of metal polishing before you break down and get them powdercoated or chromed. Either way, nice combo.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I got them on today and they fit like a charm. SUPER smooth and SUPER grippy! Also, I couldn't get them to rub going diagonally up a very steep driveway. They're close, but do clear. I feel really good about them!
