What Size Pontenza RE-11 for Track Use?
I went through this posts on Bridgstone RE-11 Tires and understand that I can run 325/30R19 which is next size up from OEM.
Can 325's be run all the way around or only on rear with 305/30R19 up front? Best sizing for track? |

Looking for what size (s) RE-11 to use for the track.
The 325s look great all the way around but how does that setup perform on a road course? |

I run 325s RE11 all around.. They will require less camber then the Trofeos .. Around -2.4° to 2.7° max. So far I have gotten to within 1.2 sec of my best time on the Trofeos on a 1:30ish a lap, high grip track. They will fall of after 3 to 4 laps but thats when the fun starts.. Also it seems they require higher pressures as well, this will depend on your driving style and skill level and surface grip level. You will loose some steering feel and response, I'm guessing because of the taller tread height. Breakaway is pretty smooth and easy to control. Wear is great even when pushed very hard, temperatures will rise however and with that pressures will as well. Overall I am happy with them as I use same tires for street driving. Here is a lap on RE11s, all traction is off..
