AluFelgen SF-71 in Matte Black with RE-11's
I posted a bunch of photos in the main photo gallery board - but thought the rim photos might be ripe for a re-post in this section as well.
Here's the original post with all the specs and pics: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=384439 Enjoy! -Daniel

By the way, how do you like the new tires ? How is the road grip ? How do you compare them to the tires you had before ?

Prior to the RE-011 I had: RE-01R, S-03PP, S-02PP, S-02 and the S-01. The RE-11 is a phenomenal product that is, in my estimation, without equal. -Daniel

Hey fourptdrift,
Have you hade any experience with the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs? I just ordered new wheels and went with them over the RE-11's. I've heard nothing but good things from both, but I went with the cheaper.

1.) I can't even consider it as an option for ME because I require 19" rims to go over my 15" brakes. The Dunlop solution doesn't include a 19" size. 2.) The Star Spec only meets the same level of performance of the RE-11 when its shaved and heat cycled. The RE-11's work from day one with no prep. This basically means that while the RE-11 appears to be more expensive, you actually get much better value for the dollar out of it - unless of course you don't shave the Dunlop and don't care about matching the RE-11 and just want a good quality performance tire. Ultimately, its the Bridgestone F1 patent portfolio that sets it apart from the competition and the RE-11 is the first street tire to use a bona fide F1 sourced and patented tire technology, specifically, Bridgestone's "stealthy block" design. The RE-11 is practically an F1 rain tire re-done for street cars. And how often do you get to put F1 type technology on your car? -Daniel

What size are the tires? 275 in back? I assume you had to roll fenders? Car looks amazing!

OP, by the way, what is the wear rate of the RE-11 ? The only thing holding me from getting RE-11s is the concern that they wear fast. I only do daily driving with some occasional spirited driving, never tracking or dragging...can I get 20.000 miles out of theses ?

But beyond that, i will say that I think the RE-11 wear rate is outstanding. I've gone from 3,000 miles on the original S-02 in the mid 90's to around 12,000 miles today on the RE-11. Can you get 20,000 miles on a set? I suppose that's up to driving style. I am sure my mother could. But the RE-11 has a little caveat. You can't store it below 50F degrees or basically, you have to throw them out. These are extreme max performance tires... cold environments will destroy them. -Daniel

Wow, so how do I know that when I buy them new, the online store from which I buy didn't keep them in the last winter and let them froze...? Or maybe you can in fact store them in cold temperatures when they are new ?

I'm debating between the RE-11 and the AD08, which are comparable in price. Any experience with the AD08 on the track? I also have the same wheels, but I have 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tires currently on an e90 with Performance Suspension. Would the track handling improve if I changed to 245 and 275 combo? But then I suppose I would rub without a roll? Btw, RE-11 does not come in 265 size. |

As always Daniel, your car looks great. And I know that you are a HUGE Bridgestone fan, so nice choice in tires. I didnt know the RE-11 couldnt be stored cold. Thats a problem for me living in SLC since we randomly get warm weather one day, then snow the next. Guess I can stick to my Dunlop Star Specs and deal with the cons.
