Bridgestone RE-11 for a 997-1 Turbo

[phillipj]

Thinking about these tires for my Turbo. They have good reviews. Does anyone have experience with these Bridgestones?

I like these tires more than Michelin. They tend to not glaze the sides

during a DE event. I try to take 2 psi out of all the tires for an event.

Right now I am using a Pirelli which is a harder tire. They tend to slide more in the turns.

Thanks Paul.. Do you think they are good for a daily driver as well?

[PAULSPEED]

Yes, good tires for daily drive. Look at the hardness ratio

at tire rack. The higher the number the more miles with the tires.

The only thing I hated about them was their weight. Also, on the track, after a few cycles they are very slippery. I went back to N rated cups.

So far I'm very happy with them. I have them broken in now. I went for a spirited drive with one of my friends on one of my favorite twisty roads. We both drove the car. It has great grip and corners well as the Pilots. My buddy is a good driver and has Pilots on his 3.4 Boxster and 07 4S. He liked them as well. They are quiet on the freeway. I don't track my car so I won't have those issues. I recently drove them i the rain and they were very compliant.

For how I drive they are a great tire for the money. Plus (If I want something else) they wont last that long anyway,,,,:rolleyes:
