Cost aside what do you think of them?
I've also been led to believe they are quite light.. anyone able to confirm this?
Currently I'm running the JDM OEM RE010, but wouldn't mind something a bit better.
Cheers,
David.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport 215/40ZR17
they are great in hot condition, but a little rain can do a lot of damage, impossible to speed in wet
and they are EXPENSIVE

LOL... It's <u>very</u> hard to set the cost aside when they cost so much more than the alternative hybrid compound tyres!

I had 215/40/17 SO2-pp and loved them, but these and S03 aren't available in 16" sizes for an ITR. The other tire I'm looking at is the Potenza RE-01 which looks to be be a RE711 replacement as far as I can tell.
Thanks for the feedback all.

i had these tires when i purchased my wheels used from E-Bay. They worked well but like the previous post said they are a little squirl-ly in the rain. I have the Azenis now and believe it or not, they have better wet grip, so far. Bridgestone is supposed to be very good, i have not had a set, but their cost and lack of a good fitting 16 inch size keeps me from considering them. I have found there are not many good choices for 16 inch tires for our R's. Hope this helps.
