never got them. the guy who was supposed to get them for me gave me to much BS. I got assymetrics instead and am now happy with them. having to run around 2 psi more air in these due to the softer nature compared to bridgestones

FYI -

JDM Parts has them in Japan -
http://www.ooparts-international.co..../frameset.html

You will want to email Fuzzy over there and he will have you fill out an online quote with your name/address for shipping charges.

Mobil: +81-90-5423-1443
Tel : +81-45-314-2141
E-mail addresses:
fuzzy.oda@ooparts-international.com

I got a quote for (4) Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 tires in 234/45-17 (OEM) size and they were approximately $245/tire. With normal ground shipping I was looking at around $1450.00 US, cheap air was $1725.00. Remember that this can change a bit as the currency rates fluctuate daily in the International markets.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that Fuzzy over at OOPARTS International, Inc. is a really nice guy and will usually get back to you same day or the following morning due to the time zone difference.

Bridgestone has not finalized the US compound yet for the RE11s. Preliminary autocross testing proved unsatisfactory, so they are going to test some different formulas.

In our testing on an Evo, the Z1 star secs were about .8 sec quicker than the RE01Rs on a 60 sec course.
