I just install brand new BRIDGESTONE RE-11A tires and i find that it where noisy when they lost traction, i having 2 sets of RE-11 before and they where very silent event when they lost tractions, it is normal for the RE-11A or if it's only because they are new?

Where did you find Bridgestone RE-11A tires? They were discontinued about a year ago. And I need a set for my S2000!

Noisy meaning tire squeal?

In Canada we have special privileges.

Or maybe he just bought a spare set last time?

I'm really looking for RE-11A tires, though, not RE-011A tires. 17" OEM sizes.

Special Canadian version with the extra "0", they will last 40K miles. Sorry, just playing around.

Good luck on your search.

Tire squeal yes

I work at tire shop and i buy it when they came out

First version was for canada only, RE-011A, later for the rest of the world, the name was changed to RE-11A ;-)

Hey Chuck, if you can find a set "up here" i can bring them down for you on my next Ohio trip.

I work for a company out of Mentor and have been there six times in the last three years.

PM me if you find something.

Merci!

I'm probably going to replace the RE-11A tires by Labor Day. I'm willing drive for a set in OEM 17" staggered sizes.

This is one of those "I really like what I have and am afraid I won't like the available replacements." things.

Conventional wisdom is that these tires are just noisier at the limit than most other extreme-street tires. So as long as you're not experiencing any other bad behavior from them, consider it normal.

Once the release compound is gone, they will be more talkative at the limits compared to others of the same generation.
