I can think of 2 explanations for this:

1. They don't know (muppets)
2. They don't care (^&@%$#)

take your pick

If you all can't get the new RE-11, trust be, the RE01R is about the next best bet available for the S. Correct sizes for both 16" and 17" and these tyres grip like a hungry biatch in heat!

IF the RE-11s are that much better as advertised then woa!
What are they like in the wet though?

re01r are fine in the wet - i had them when i imported the car last year on my mf10's , I drove all last summer and 1500 miles through france in the pouring rain at speeds which i believe would be suicidal on other tread patterns / compounds.

However it may be a long time before we see a re-11 here, afterall the re-01r was never available officially as it not e marked.
