Want to give RE71r a shot but...

Bluesummer · 10-26-2015, 02:08 AM

So my wheels are 19x9.5 ET20 & 19x11 ET 40 and I'm currently running 275/295 set up (Our OEM rear up front and M5 OEM rear in the back). I want to switch to RE71 but Bridgestone do not make them in the 295 flavor. If I switch to 265/285 setup, would there be any negative effects? Please help me out, I really want to try out these new kicks since the reviews on them are very promising.

*I'm currently looking for a set of OE spec 275 PSS since my fronts are almost shot, if you have a pair for sell, PM me.

I spoke to TireRack about more sizing for this tire. Their reply was that Bridgestone will release more tire sizes in Spring 2016. They are not sure what sizes though.

That was too long of a wait for me, so I ordered some RE-11s. I'm hoping I don't have any incidents with the RE-11s... especially in that awkward time frame between the RE-11s running out and RE71Rs not being available in the new sizes.
