    great tire, especially with a 215 45 r16. they lasted a full summer with plenty of 3rd gear pulls leaving half the tire down the highway.

    im in need of a newset, but hard to find good tires in a 45 r16
    Yea that's a tough size, hopefully some of the tires above come in that size. If not, go a bit wider and a tad less on the sidewall. For example, 225/40/16. Naw mean?

    I run them as my street drag radial (some people go to the track with them, but I prefer slicks at the track). I run a 235/60/15 tire size... they hook great at 610whp (my lower hp map for the streets) ... i will never run anything else on the streets.
    Nice, I've never seen these before. After some research, I found that these aren't available in 17+" applications, but seems like a great tire with a soft compound. Adding to the list!

    In for discussion. Also, once the turbo is in (roughly spring) I'll give a review of how my re-760 sports handle the boost, they have been great with just bolt ons.

    That'll be great. Can't wait for your review! Anyone else with tire experiences? Bad or good? Winter tires too for those DD members.

    You should post up your build thread and update progress as time goes on, new parts etc etc.

    RE11s is the tire i wanted in the first place. I couldnt justify spending double the money if i knew they werent gong to last a summer, BUT my XS tires did so maybe re11s could be on the agenda.

    How long did they last you? I've heard nothing but great things about these.
