The first and immediate impression is that it's really too much grip to get the car loose even when the tires are dead cold. The rear would only step out when we forced it hard. Turn-in and steering communication is also very precise, thanks to the advanced sidewall design and circumferential center tread rib that the RE-01R didn't have. While its difficult to say one tire is better than another at this level of grip, the RE-11 definitely raises the bar in terms of melding street comfort with extreme performance. Bridgestone will initially release 31 different sizes ranging from 15- to 19-inch diameters targeting ideal fitments for the Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z, the Mini Cooper S and the BMW 3 Series. The widest current offering is only a 275-width tire, but don't be fooled because the RE-11s have a very square shoulder profile to provide a wider contact patch.
