Hey guys,

I saw that RE01R's are available outside of the US in the 215/45/17 size but cant find anywhere to order a set from online.

Anyone know were to find a set?

Thanks!

Jim

 

Also interested. On the JP website it also says they have a 255/40 available. (Both the 215 and 255 are nowhere to be found on the Tirerack website). I'm interested in doing a 215/255 setup once my RE050APP's are done.

 

1010tires.com lists them for sale... I'm not too sure if they really stock them or if their web site is even accurate.

Anybody have any sort of experience ordering from these people before?

I will try and give them a call tomorrow and find out if they really cary the tire though...

Jim

 

Please let me know what they say!

 

i think they are in Canada.
don't talk too long on the phone

 

I looked into this size awhile back. But upon closer inspection, I noticed it didn't have a high enough speed rating for the S2000. I'm not sure why, because all the other sizes are good to go for speed rating.

Speed rating looks fine to me

 

Great! I guess I misread the Canadian Bridgestone website awhile back. I would like to try these tires too, but want to stay with OEM sizes.

 

when will these sizes be available to purchase and where?

 

Okay... I called 1010tires.com today and they said that neither the 215/45/17 or the 255/40/17 were in stock

I asked why they were the only people who listed those two sizes and they said that the sizes were new from bridgestone and that maybe everyone else had not updated availability of the new size. The guy I talked to did not sound like he really knew though.

So, Jim from Tire Rack mentioned in another thread that the 255/40/17 would come out soon, does this mean that the 215/45/17 might arrive around the same time?
