Spoke with a marketing guy about these. They look promising. I don't have a price point but they come in 215/40/17.

Not bad tires. A bit unknown, but when I tried them on my civic last year, they were a good commuter tire. Pushed them a bit at a PDX and an AutoX just to see, and they weren't a front running tire(i.e. RE-71, RS-3, Rival, etc), but for something that was reasonable on the street, they'd be a good compromise, or for someone who wasn't going to be SRS BZNS and going for that last .1 second on their competition.

For the money, I'd still be an Indy 500 guy over these, and the older RE-11 over both. But they're not a bad option if they're available to you.

My local GT Radial dealer told me that these tires do not exist in this country, and that model is one of those Europe/Brit/Asia ONLY deals like many of the Michelins/B-stones, etc.

Well that's a lie. I know of several people that run these on their BRZ/FRS for track use.
