I bought my RE-11's from Tire Rack and they have a list of all local garages they can ship them to for the install.

Ive searched the entire internet! It looks like Discount tire direct has the better price for 4 tires shipped. Does any body have any expierence with discount tire direct? I'm also waiting for a source here in Germany to quote me a price. Believe it or not high Performance tires are usually cheaper here in Europe. |

you should get the RE-11s
they are have a better sideway on the tires I think you like to go tracking so its even more noticeable for you.

Bridgestone RE11
Quote:
This is some tire rack test info! If you read below the RE11 steering response is worse than the Yokohama ADO8 has Race tire-like handling and traction for the street ! So i'll get the Yokes for wet track days and day to day driving Tires Tested: Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 (Extreme Performance Summer 225/45R17) What We Liked: Excellent road manners and wet grip What We'd Improve: Improve steering response slightly Conclusion: An Extreme Performance Summer tire you can live with during day-to-day driving Latest Test Rank: 1st Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 (Extreme Performance Summer 225/45R17) What We Liked: Laser-sharp steering response and balance of dry and wet traction What We'd Improve: A modest reduction in tire impact noise Conclusion: Race tire-like handling and traction for the street Latest Test Rank: 2nd Previous Test Rank: Not previously tested |

AD08's and RE-11's are both awesome tires for a mix of high performance street and moderate track use (driving events and schools as opposed to sanctioned events where the winners run slicks). Both will have their proponents, and the steering feel is definitely different. Driving style and individual preference will determine which works best for you.
We found the Yokos a little faster in the dry, Bridgestones better in the wet. For full test results of these two head to head: http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AW8&...t.jsp&ttid=118

At 180 treadwear, you will probably get about 30% less life out of the AD08s.

My AD07s did not last long at all, but I hear the AD08s last longer too.

Discount Tire Direct Rebates
Quote:
I want to add that I'm not advocating Discount Tire over Tire Rack. I've just had good experiences with Discount Tire. If pricing is comparable, Tire Rack is probably the better choice for you as they sponsor this forum, and you have Ben's ear if you have any service issues.

I landed up going with tire rack Yoke AD08. Their customer service is amazing. I had a different experience with Discount tire direct. Can't wait to mount them I hope there as good as every one says!
