I'm happy to find this thread as I am very interested in the RE11As. I'm currently running RE01Rs, which I really like a lot (much better than the stock S02s). But I don't think they make them any more.

amazing, simply amazing that Bridgestone dropped their "premium" prices to a more normal performance tire price. I guess it finally sunk in. I have a buddy that works marketing and promotion and I guess the higher ups finally listened to the feedback he gets from others.. . Simply to costly compared to other options.

Definitely keeping this in mind if I get a BRZ and need to replace the sheeeiit tires it comes with.. . Probably still going to go with Rivals for competition though.

Thanks for the tread on these tires. Replacing the RE760 sports that are currently on, and going to get a set possibly by mid summer.

By all accounts they are much better than the RE-11, Bridgestone just finally woke up on their pricing.

I will be mounting my RE-11A's sometime this month when my RE-11 are all used up. There was no way I would be getting the RE-11 again unless I got another great deal like this time, so happy Bridgestone dropped their prices so much. The RE-11 has been so perfect for my needs I really didn't have any reason to try any other tire other than price. So happy that is no longer an issue.

Bridgestone did not "wake up" on their pricing.

$80 dollar entry rebate. Prices will go back up. Get a set while its cheap.
