awesome thanks guys

 

I see you're in Polk County. I'm the Service Manager at the Firestone in Winter Haven and if you want some Bridgestone's I'd be more than happy to give you an awesome deal on some tires. For the record, I put Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions on my '02 S2k (naturally I support our product lol)and am more than happy with the grip and noise level of the tires.

 

hmmm what about the RE11'S ?

but seriously the RE50's how are they in the rain? i dont care about noise level

^^^ tests vs. other similar perf tires.

Star Specs, RE11's, and AD08's are Extreme Performance tires. They might sacrifice some hydroplaning ability but should all offer greater dry grip (and probably also better wet grip with no standing water).

 

RE11s, 760s, RE50s, whatever you want man lol. In the rain, magnificent. Everything feels very controlled in the rain, I've yet to worry, of course when it rains I don't push it near it's limits. For comparison though, with the Fuzion's I would easily slip the rears when making a basic tight turn, but with these you have to actually try to make them slip.

In the dry, these tires are excellent, I would assume they are on par with the star specs, however I've never driven on them. Another great trait is the amount of time it takes them to warm up, as it takes very very little time to warm up. I guess that lack of noise is an added bonus for you

RE11s are actually, from what I've heard, pretty good in the rain. The tire manager of the North Lakeland store has them and is very pleased with them. The tire design on the 11s is derived from F1's wet tire.

 

I wish they did those tests with a sports car rather than a sports sedan. A 325i is not exactly the kind of car to extract the full potential of a tire. Maybe a 335i at least if they want to use a BMW. I also wished they actually showed a larger difference between rating the tires rather than hundredths of a point.. what does a .07 point difference between tires mean to the real world driver..

 

cool sweet, ill be sure to hit you up when the time comes! you shuld try and come out thursday!

 

If a 325i handles better on one tire than another, it's highly likely that an S2000 will, too.

Objective handling test results are in those tests, in many cases the tires compared are very close.

Anyway, the info cost you nothing, ignore it if you want to.

 

i have some BBs model RE771 18 5x114.3 offset of 40 with advan tires that have around 70% tread left send me pm if your interested.

 

thanks, but no thanks dude, just looking for tires as of now...plus 18's aren't really my cup of tea
