Hello all from Tire Rack
Thanks! Just to clarify, do you own the V rated tire, or do you have W front/Y rear? I didn't even realize until just now that my Pirellis are V front/ W rear. Since the car was spec'd to run on W's, I'm not sure if I want to continue with V rated tires or not. OTOH, other than the funky wear, I don't really have any complaints about the V rated Pirelli.
No problem! PM me your zip and what size(s) decided on and I'll send you a quote.

wheels for 2004 6mt coupe
Hey everyone! My name is Neal and I will be moderating the tire, wheel, brake, and suspension forums here. I've been a long time member here but first time moderator. I've also moderated evolutionm.net for quite some time now. Worked at Tire Rack for 7 yrs and have owned an 03 6MT in the past. Hopefully I can help out with the questions you have.

In Market for New Tires
I have a G35Xs and am in the market for new All-Seasons. My 2 candidates are the Bridgestone RE970AS or the Conti ExtremeContact DWS 06... Thoughts? Also, are there any special offers coming up for these 2 tires?
The 970 would be better in the steering response/dry handling side, while the Conti does much better in snow/ice on the winter side. I have many more purchase the Conti as its a tad more well rounded vs the B-Stone. No specials I know of soon, but we only get a one day notice before they hit anyway.
Neal,
Your website says that the 275/35/18 Bridgestone RE-11s are on backorder. Do you know when they will be available? Hopefully, they are still in production.
I'll be pairing it with 275/40/18s.

Unfortunately we have not been given any new eta information on when the next shipment is coming. Our B-Stone rep was here today and they haven't given him any info either. I would probably move into another tire if you need something soon.
