Bridgestone RE11S to replace RE55S

[bigbadbeau]

i am running re55s on my daily and i dont find them to have dangerously low levels of grip when cold. there was a Motor magazine tyre test with some braking distances etc in dry and wet and i dont think s-tyres performed as badly as people would have you beleive.
having said that if it is a really wet and slick surface there is much more chance of aquaplaning..

of course for the first few minutes of driving with s-tyres and brake pads designed for street/circuit application you have to be mindful of worse-than-standard levels of grip/braking, but this is still a lot better than a 10year old commondoor on worn nankangs (ie 90% of the cars around you)

i read that motor magazine article and i swear they heated the semis and the full slick they testd prior to each run, could be wrong
