I just drove to Arkansas and back 2 weeks ago-I got 36 mpg on that trip as a whole
I was SHOCKED I'm sure I would have gotten better with the LRR tires but DAMN, if you drive this car like a Prius it'll give the Prius a run for the money You just have to drive it like a Prius-if you drive it like a 300hp monster, it gets a 300hp cars mileage Case in point, my last tank was 15.6 mpg-lots of idling while the kids slept in the car and AUTOCROSS!!! |

Just a little update after 3.5 months 3K miles and 48 autocross runs
I really like these tires. They're wearing slower than the UTOG 500 P7's that were on the car before (not surprising as I don't put a lot of miles on the car compared to the amount of wear at autocross and the P7's were just turning to dust and noise with every run). I had 4060 miles on the P7's and 28 runs, they started with 10/32 of tread and now have 5/32 I have 3190 miles on the RE-11A's and 48 runs, they started with 9/32 of tread and now have 6/32 And the level of grip is PHENOMENAL additional info - I put H&R Sports on last Friday and did an autocross last Saturday. There is no rubbing with these anywhere when lowered on sports |

Just trying to get an idea of tread life. 48 autocross runs = about how much driving time would you say? That would definitely help me. Thanks,

You're probably using a couple of hundred miles worth of tread every run Looks like this |

And the driver, car setup and driving style
My personal rate of rubber consumption is going down as I learn the limits of the car and the tires. |

Update on the RE-11A's
The car has 12k on it now which means these tires have 8k on them They have been fabulous I've been rotating them front to back (yay square) and once cross to average the shoulder wear from the low camber fronts. This pic was last week after a 2 day HPDE. The rears (now the fronts) were down to 1/32, fronts were 3/32-in the middle. Outside edge taking the beating from lack of camber On the track they're awesome. When up to temp they stick like I've got a wing on the car. I was thinking of trying something else next season, but after the HPDE, it'll be another set of bridgestones next season I've got one more Autocross before winter and I'll probably take it to a drag strip just for fun before I put the winters on for the boring soul crushing winter months. Have fun with your F30's guys-I know I am |

Thanks for the updates! After an event in Jan I'll be about due for new tires. Might give these a try to save some money.
Edit: +1 on the camber. My outer edges are getting killed.

Awesome guys. Thanks for the update. Hopefully in the spring I'll grab some RE-11A's!

For Autocross, start with 35 or so, and check it after 2 runs. You might need to bleed it after run 3 or 4. Above 40 they start to feel greasy, so never start a run over ~38 as they'll swell with the heat. All this is general though-our runs are long (about 2 miles) and fast (lots of heat buildup). Just figure out what you need to do in your situation to be between 38 and 40-could mean staring at 38 and bleeding every run. If your tracking, same hot pressures work well, but you don't stop all the time to bleed. 31-32 cold usually got me right there when the tires get up to temp. They really stick with a carcass temp ~160 and 39 psi. |

https://www.flickr.com/photos/929378...7649019367181/ If you look at any other pictures from this year on my flickr site, the pictures with the grey wheels are Apex Arc-8 18x9" ET42 wheels on all 4 corners with Hankook R-S3 265/35/18 (5mm spacer on the front) If you're going to track the car, I highly recommend the hankooks - they are a LOT more heat resistant than the RE11a's were |

I believe most track guru's I've spoken with say the R-S3 is the best Ultra-High Performance tire you can bring to the track. It will wear quickly on the street relative to a PSS for example, but performs very well at the track, doesn't overheat and become gummy etc.
