1.4% Faster than the RE-11A
Might be giving up the Water Capabilities the RE-11A had, I believe those are the best extreme tire in water.

This is a cool Pic of the progression of the Bridgestone Extreme Tire.. 12% faster than the custom RE-71 used on the 959.

Saw these pop up on the Bridgestone Japan site. Hoping the price range stays at the current RE-11A level.

 

Looks good!!!

 

Let's hope they don't go back to RE-11 (non A) pricing.

 

Tread pattern looks strikingly similar to the Direzza ZII. I wonder what the treadwear rating on this tire is going to be.

 

Prob 180 tread wear. We will see. I guess a few new tires will be coming out for the Tokyo auto show

 

This is good news! I'm in need of new tires for next spring/summer!

 

I wonder what's in advans left pocket?

 

Jim@Tirerack confirmed these will come stateside in 2015, maybe as early as the Spring.

Not sure on pricing yet though.

 

Awesome!!! can't wait. I'm about to kill the ZIIs on my car pretty soon.
