RE-01R's On Sale @ Tire Rack

I bought RE-01R's (225/50/16) during the summer. I love these tires. They have so much grip that my car doesn't have enough power to kick these tires out. I can floor the car in second gear in a tight corner and not even a screech! Tire Rack has them on sale. And for 80 dollars a tire, how can you go wrong!?!?!

My friend sent me a link to them but my tires still have a lot of meat on them so I can't jump on this deal. Just in case any of you guys need new tires. Great price for amazing tires!

Do they have them in 13's?

Potenza's... my Z came with Potenza's, stock (somewhat different series). Grippy tires, but soft like butter. First set didn't make it 11,000 miles.

Much happier with my Eagle F1's (considering their price, I should be). I got about 40,000 miles out of the first set, on my 2nd.
