They are very quiet

I have these tires. They are very quiet and produce 3mpg's, better that my Conti's. The only thing I care for is they hydro very easily in heavy rain. In Seattle this can be an issue.

I'm happy with the tires

I have them on my Acura. I'm happy with the tires and the grip is exceptional in dry and wet. Though the sidewall is definitely softer than the Potenza A/S tires I had on previously. The ride is better though. I haven't driven in snow so I can't comment on that. I would definitely purchase them again.

Quiet & Tremendous Rip Both Wet And Dry

I was looking for a replacement tire for the all season tires on my car. I wanted a performance tire and I couldn't find my first choice in 19"s (Hankook, Nitto, Toyo, BFGoodrich). I am very pleased so far with the RE-11. Super quiet, smooth ride, and sticky both on dry and wet pavement. And I got to experience wet traction today under heavy acceleration merging into traffic and they did not falter. And since I'm using this size for the rear wheels, the grip under quick acceleration is phenomenal. One small gripe is that these tires were not directional. All they had was outside and inside designation leaving the tires looking asymmetrical in nature and not directional. Confusing, but so far, the driving experience is excellent and makes my 350Z an even bigger pleasure to drive.

Solid Grip Wet Or Dry

I was looking for a replacement tire for the all season tires on my car. I wanted a performance tire and I couldn't find my first choice in 19"s (Hankook, Nitto, Toyo, BFGoodrich). I am very pleased so far with the RE-11. Super quiet, smooth ride, and sticky both on dry and wet pavement. And I got to experience wet traction today under heavy acceleration merging into traffic and they did not falter. And since I'm using this size for the front wheels, the responsiveness under quick steering is phenomenal. One small gripe is that these tires were not directional. All they had was outside and inside designation leaving the tires looking asymmetrical in nature and not directional. Confusing, but so far, the driving experience is excellent and makes my 350Z an even bigger pleasure to drive.
