Seth, how much life you got left on the RE-11's

I'm on my second set of RE11s and have had no issues. They've been on a few HPDS and several xcross events. Love the performance and grip I get from these, and now that I'm in the back hills of TN, push them hard daily, with the only being that big smile, I can't keep off my face.

Note, that the RE11s have been superseded by the RE-71Rs so, you might find a close out price on the RE11s in the near future.

Looks like Seth has Contis DW.

If it came down to PSS versus RE-11, I'd choose RE-11 from autocross/track usage.
If it came down to mostly street driving, I'd choose PSS.

The PSS is a better daily driving tire. The RE-11's follow every little groove in the road, which can get annoying, and they don't last very long if driven on the street. While the PSS is no better for wear, I believe they are quieter and have better wet traction.

For track/autocross usage, I have a dedicated set of RE-11's. I have had them since I've owned the car (ordered the set right after purchase) and STILL have them over 4 years later. They are finally on their last legs. They have been used 95% autocross/track and some very minor daily driving for the times my primary set were unavailable. The traction is still awesome on them even though they're mostly worn down.

For this kind of usage, I'd choose something else other than the PSS. Most of the track junkies I know that run street tires do not run PSS but instead something in the class of the RE-11 (RS3's, RE-11, Star Specs, etc.) I'm sure there's a good reason for that. Let's not mention that this class of tire is also STILL cheaper than those damn PSS tires! They're way too expensive for what they are. You can almost get R-Compound tires for the price of PSS tires... *almost*. They're like 3-400 off R-comps, but consider the S-04 tires are almost 300 less than the PSS, and those are a very close second to the PSS in performance.

Could someone please take a pic of their emergency trunk release handle on the inside? I found mine dangling today with no way of pinning it back up so Id like to know what holds it up.

This is mine:







It looks like there's supposed to be something that goes on the black plastic nub in the second pic...

That's where it goes. Just snaps in as I recall. Slide it down?
