Has anyone tried the Bridgestone RE-11 tires on their F yet? They are ranked #1 in the "Extreme Performance Summer" tire category. Expensive, but still cheaper than the Michelin PS/2s...

i'M RUNNING RE 11'S 245 ON FRONT AND 275'S ON REAR. NIGHT AND DAY!!!
Sorry for caps. They are like GLue! I autocross with them and they have been great!

Good Luck

I am assuming 245/35R19 on the fronts and 275/30R/19 on the rears? No rubbing or floaty issues? What PSI are you running?

I have a deep dish on my rear wheels and with the offset it rubbed. Most won't if you don't have a deep dish. I had to roll fenders and a bit of grinding. Eventhough Wheelboyz .com told me they wouldn't rub. Those rear calipers stick out too far for a 4-5 dish.I'm running also a 6mil spacer on rear with longer studs. fronts have no issues. Those are the sizes I'm running. My rear wheel is a 10" wheel

How big is the rim guard compared to the one on the RE050A tires?

"How big is the rim guard compared to the one on the RE050A tires? "

I didn't notice. I would assume that the rim guard would be the same dimensions as on other Bridgestones.
Why?

The rim guard on the RE050A tires is definitely bigger and more pronounced vs. the PS/2s and most other tire options available. Personally, I like the way the rim guard looks on the RE050As and was hoping the RE11s were similar in that regard.
