Now I have:

Tires
Yokohama S.Drive
Front: 225/40
Rear: 255/35

I'm looking to upgrade to Yoko Advan's or sticky Bridgestones

There are so many choices and so many reviews I'm hoping someone can give me some advice.

 

I talked to Tire Rack and they suggested the RE-11's

Any objections?

 

Nope, they will be my next tire.

 

Bridgestone RE11's would be an *excellent* choice.

Dunlop Sport Z1 StarSpecs will offer roughly equivalent performance for $200 less.

Another good choice would be the Yoko Advan AD08, for about the same $$$ as the Bridgestones.

 

^^ all those are good tires.

 

RE11s are definitely the best street tire you can buy right now.

 

I like what I hear.

I heard the Yoko Advan AD08's were identical in performance and were the exact same price.

Its down to those two then...I would assume its a Brand Image/Tread Pattern choice now.

 

Linkie to Tire Rack Test: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=118

dry/wet lap time
RE11: 29.12/30.36
*Spec: 29.05/30.38
AD08: 28.91/30.37

For just about all practical purposes, all three (RE11, StarSpec, AD08) are pretty much equal, and the Dunlops will save you $200.

IMO they're the top three performance street tires out there, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot between them, performance-wise.

 

I got the AD-08's
