Yokohama rang me last week about tyres for superlap saying that the new AO50 is being used by some front runners at superlap. They were saying that they are a bit quicker and softer. Semi's are gunna be costing drug money soon!

Heya boyz,

Tried every avenue under the sun to get the new RE-11's but simply not available in the Australian market.

With the RE-11 being the replacement for the RE-01R you would assume Bridgestone Oz would need to clear most stock of RE-01R prior, so they dont have conflicting tyres or a plethora of old stock that can't sell. So I suspect there could be 12 months or greater until we see these puppies.

In the end, reverted to current model here RE-01R & looking forward to giving these a good run.

Cheers,

Ben

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
