These are brand new tyres, dom 2010
This is the tyre that replaced the Potenza RE-01R.
These tyres have a UTQG treadwear rating of 180, So are in the same class as Toyo R1R, Yokohama ad07, ad08, falken RT615, dunlop Z1 star spec. kumho xs, ku36.
20-5-11 sizes available include:
205 50 15 OUT OF STOCK
205 45 16 OUT OF STOCK
225 45 17 OUT OF STOCK
235 45 17 (4 left)
BRIDGESTONE HAS RAISED ITS PRICES BY ABOUT 30% ON THESE TYRES, WE HAVE NOT YET REORDERED DUE TO THIS, IN THE MEANTIME UNTIL WE CAN FIND A BETER DEAL, WE ARE FOCUSING ON SIMILAR TYRES SUCH AS THE NITTO NT05
a little info borrowed from Tirerack:
The Potenza RE-11 is an Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for enthusiastic sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan drivers. The Potenza RE-11 is designed to combine traction, handling and driving control with good noise and ride comfort. The Potenza RE-11 is tuned for dry and wet conditions, but like all summer tires is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Potenza RE-11 is the first Potenza street tire to incorporate Bridgestone's 3D Seamless Stealth technology originally introduced in their Formula 1 and GP2 racing tires. The Potenza RE-11 features an asymmetric tread pattern that combines massive outboard independent shoulder blocks interlocked with a notched circumferential intermediate rib that provides the lateral stiffness needed to enhance steering response and increase dry cornering traction. Inboard, a continuous intermediate rib and notched shoulder rib are separated by wide, straight circumferential grooves that provide water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction.
The tire's internal structure features a custom designed asymmetric shape that helps distribute footprint pressure more evenly by keeping the straighter outboard sidewall from “falling down” while helping the more rounded inboard sidewall resist “falling away” during aggressive cornering. Two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon provide strength, uniform ride quality and high-speed capability.
