Review Bridgestone RE-11 + newly painted wheels

[DedeSIR]

Well, finally, had a few track days with the new tires...
A few pics :

My fresh rattle can (duplicolor) paint job with Rays valve stem :

Overall really good tire :

- Lots of dry grip (more than the Azenis rt615), takes the heat better.
Has the temperature of the tire increase they don't become greasy.
- Lots of wet grip, I really got surprise how much grip I had.
- They seem to take the hard beating well, they stay nice...

The question is, how long they will last and the level of grip will stay
the same as they goes...

Is it woth paying 200$ more compared to the cheaper Azenis, will see
with time, but if you are short on budget, you are not missing THAT much.

But they are a better tire.

PS : How do you like my Black Racing wheels ??

Thank you for the write up!!
+rep to you

Your wheels look very good!

Whats the tread-wear of this tire ?

I want those tires so bad!!!!

 

[simone]

They look real nice (if tyres can look nice)

These are the tyres that I want to replace my RE-01R's when it comes time for replacements.

For the people in the USA or Canada, can you add some websites that sell the RE-11's, as I want to make some enquiries with regards to possible getting some shipped over to the UK

Nice mate! I've got these shipped to me as we speak from Tire Rack.

I've heard from many 911 Turbo owners who track their car and said its better than the Toyo R888. Very surprising eh!

 

[stevenEK9]

I would imagine they are better than the R888 for their bet weather ability too, R888 are decent in the wet as they get heat in them so quick but standing water is a joke

Also sure these potenzas would last alot longer!!!

Nice write up though, wheels do look very cool

Thanks for the good comments !!

I worked hard on the wheels, got them sandblasted... by me !
+ a bit of sanding, few coats of primer, few of paint and a bit
of clear coat. All from duplicolor.
I really like the way it turn out

Simone, as jugbugz said you can get those from Tire Rack, it's
probably the best place... but with the shipping I don't
think it's worth it. There is probably many good tires
that you can get in the UK.
