I love my RE-01R's (The RE-11 replaced those) Great Wet and Dry handelings, and best of all low noise. All in an max performance tire. HIGHLY recommenced. Also read the tire rack reviews.

Hi,

Is there anyone who has experience with the Potenza Re-11's?

Saw these for $159 ca. each. All the specs on them are good, just would like to know if anyone had real experience with them.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Don't forget the Hankook RS-2's.

THe only other ones I found are the Yoko AVS ES100's. I dont think they are as good as the Falken's, but are pretty much the only other decent tire out there..

Yeah, they're not even close, performance-wise.

The Falkens are always a good bet.

I got 225/45/16 Toyo's T1r's on 16x8 Rs.' They are great! Great grip when dry and wet. Noise wise, they are very quiet. I can't remember where I got them, but they were on sale for about 105 each.
I also have 195/50/16 Yoko's Advan a048 on 16x8 e28 weaves. These are still pretty sticky on dry with about %50 thread left. Not so on wet. These tires though are very noisy.

+1 On the T1Rs (225/45/16s on 16x9s), they offer good bang for your buck

I will soon be looking for new tires for my e30 and was starting my research as to what you guys think are the best tires for Basketweaves, what size you would run, and why? No R-Compounds...

My criteria for tires are
1) Dry Grip
2) Cornering
3) Autocrossability (added to Websters this year)
4) Wet Grip
5) Longevity
6) Road Noise
7) Looks
8) Price

Falken RT-615. I don't think anything else in that class is available in 14" anymore...

I just bought a set of Falken Ziex ZE-912s, I'm going to read through the review thread later tonight, but can anyone comment on wet traction?

I just bought a set too. I haven't pushed them hard yet, but I have driven them in the rain and they felt really solid. Although I think anything is an improvement when you are switching from bald snows.

GT champio 328 205/55/15
came on the car when i bought it last November pretty much brand new i didn't think i was gonna like them since i have not head to much about them but they are not to bad wet or dry one warmed up they grip nicely not to load while doing burn outs and give out some nice smoke.i would probably but them again but i think i am gonna try falken next.

Too bad they don't offer the Bridgetstone Potenza so-3 anymore. :(

The current replacement would be either the RE050PP or the RE-11. Both are excellent.
