Any rubbing with the Bridgestone 325s?

Not even close. The RE-11s run skinny so they are the similar width to the Pirelli 305.

Good call... The 325 RE11 all around is sweet setup

How sticky are the RE-11s compared to the Trofeos? And how well do they perform on the street? Road noise, and did they soften the ride any?

I have the RE-11As on mine. It's hard to compare stickiness, but they do not throw rocks or tram nearly as much and do break lose more easily on hard u-turn (in PTM5) or hard launch. I don't find them to be harsh on the road and believe they perform very well in all conditions. They are heavy, but I don't believe handling (on street) has been compromised.

Bridgestone S04 on mine. Great street tire, not grippy enough though IMHO

I made the mistake of getting those in 305. Not wide enough.

I have about 5000 miles on my RE-11's mainly street driving but have done 2 track days with them. As a street tire, I really like them - they soften the ride a little, aren't as sensitive to cold and wet conditions and seem to be wearing well. At the track, if you rate the Trofeo a 10/10, I would say they are a 8.5 to 9/10. They don't have the last few % of grip or feel of the Trofeo's on the track and they do get "greasy" when hot. Overall though as a compromise tire I give them a thumbs up and when I bought mine from tire rack they were reasonably priced compared to the alternatives. I run 305 front and 325 back on the stock rims.

Wow those RE-11's on the Z look great.
I was going to go with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's, but if you can put 325's on a 11 or 11.5 rim like the Z has..that's my Huckleberry! I'm a street user too, so a few extra lbs isnt a show stopper.

I was going to spend some $$ and send the rear rims to Eric Vaughn out in California to widen the rear rims, but from the photos you dont need to do that

325 RE-11As on all corners and no issue at all.....

Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 325/30/19 in the house. Light and wide.

I have 345's on my Z06 rear, are you putting 325's on front and back..will they fit like the RE-11's??

I agree the Pilot Sports PS2's are the best, but really cool if they fit all the way around...opps

edit those are Super Sports.

No way those MPSS 325/30/19 would work up front. I'm using those 325 for rears only.

Upfront it appears to me that I'm going with the Bridgestone RE 11 in the 325/30/19.

That combo's look is what I'm after.

The Bridgestone S04s in 305/30/19 was a waste. So narrow.
