I just spent $428.00 shipped for RE11s...I stumbled upon this deal by accident too.
I didn't even need tires but too good of a deal. I'm currently on my 3rd set of RE11s...I paid full pop the first 3 sets, which was roughly $325 per rear tire (fronts were around $300) so $199 is a killer deal on rear tires. I was going to buy the front as well, but I have too much tread left on my current front tires.
I am running stock tire sizes. I like the "square" look. I don't want to have a bulge on the side wall.
The nice thing about Bridgestone is that they use a rubber that doesn't rot and crack like Michelin does. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Michelin makes fantastic tires however, I've spoken to a lot of tire people and they just prefer the RE11s compared to the Michelin Super Sport when you factor in price vs performance. The performance is so close that it really comes down to price in the end. BTW...4 years on a tire is a long time...even if you have tread left, you should consider replacing the tires if the rubber is cracking.

Are you running stock sizes?
That tire wear will work for me. I'm still running 4+ year old OE potenza re50 only 26k on them with no complaints. Just trying to squeeze a little more out of them before buying new tires. This price is really good!!
The F will sit all week and RE50 are fine, no flat spots. I know I need to drive it more, but the commute will destroy it! She is about to get driven on a 14hr round trip this weekend!

Awesome, thanks for posting this! I ended up getting the full set since all of mine are old, which came to $888 shipped. It's funny that the fronts were $15 more each but I've been roasting the rears unintentionally lately so it's time for some grip!
Again, thanks! Awesome deal.

Thanks Just F Me for posting this great deal. I just ordered a full set for my F to replace the stock re050's. I was just going to replace my front tires this weeks but I couldn't pass up this deal.

All season tires? Why? LOL...Here in SoCal, we only need to buy Extreme Summer Performance tires year round...

Do you drive your car hard? I thought the DWS's were the worst tire I've ever had. Really soft sidewalls, poor handling. I had these on my Audi A4.

Exactly. I would never put DWS on the ISF, or even DW. The Hankook V12's were on mine when I bought it, practically brand new. Traded those in for PSS's.
