Default Just installed Bridgestone RE11

I've been shopping tires for 3 months and decided to get the Bridgestone RE11. I don't know how many miles they will last but I can tell you they stick like glue compared to the GY F1 Supercars. They are about an inch wider than the Goodyears but are a little more rounded on the sides so the contact patch is probably about the same.

Gfish, thanks for the post. I have been ready to pull the trigger on the RE-11's, and will soon as the white stuff is gone. How much HP are you making?

Sorry I took so long to back with you guys. I Have an 08 A6 with Z51 a vararam and a Cow tune. After the tune I couldn't keep it punched when it hit second because it would fry the tires now the tires hook so good that it snaps your head off. I will be going to the track soon to see how they do. I went with stock sizes
