Can you look into the BS RE-11 if you do? They will be released in 30 days..

 

We can source these tires for you, but the cost will be rather expensive due to importing, tax, and domestic shipping charges.

what is the typical mark up on imported tires?? Ball park

 

aren't Japanese tires not DOT approved for the streets here?

 

What would that matter? Would you not be able to get your car inspected?

 

tire margins are very slim, just like here in the usa. honestly, unless you are ordering a bunch of sets, it will cost you alot. is day probably about 30-50% above the japanese msrp for the tire if i had to guess.

shipping to here, then shipping to you, customs, then some profit for the importer. it gets expensive fast.

 

That tire should be released late this year in the US as the RE-01R replacement. I would personally say wait or just get a new set of RE-01R's for the time being. I just don't think the cost to get those now would be worth it.

Just my .02...

Good points, maybe we can get 10 people or so for a GB..

If the tire is true that much better wet and dry than the RE-01R, then it might be worth it..

 

Not to be the Debby Downer but, it won't be worth it...
