You really have to scrub them in for a bit for them to reach their potential. I have put around 1000 miles on them (75% touge driving) and they are really reaching their potential now. If at the track I would say it would probably take four twenty minute sessions to really scrub them in depending on the track surface. The grip before they are scrubbed in isn't bad at all, but wow when they come alive they really come alive. Bananas.

I was running 35 cold all around to begin (out in the mountains in the middle of the night it is usually pretty cool so getting temperature into the tires takes a bit more, and I am usually doing only 10-15 minute runs) but I will be switching back to my usual 32 cold all around for pressures, aiming for around 38 hot. I find that setting a cold tire pressure makes way more sense. There are so many factors that will contribute to how much the tire heats up and changes pressure, and it is always tough to get a consistent way to measure hot tire pressure without a normal pit stop routine.

Great info. I'm going to get a set soon (hopefully). What size are you running front and rear? What kind of tread life did you see from the Re-11's?

More thorough review.
