Bridgestone Potenza RE 11

Anyone using these yet? I just took delivery of a set. They won't be on the car until around mid May though. I've been reading very good things about them, I just hope they last reasonably long. They'll be on my car 5 out 12 months a year.

Their predecessor, the RE-01r's wear very well. But it really depends on what you do for the 5 months. This is the start of the 3rd season on my RE-01r's with a few autocrosses and some track days on them. But I've also gone through 3-4 sets of A6's and a set of Kumho Victoracers during that same time period for a grand total of maybe 8k miles.

My rear RE01s lasted less than 10k which i think is about right for these tires.

Can anyone recomend a good alignment shop near Des Plaines? I usually have Just Tires mount my meats, but I'm not sure I trust them to align the car.
