Actually the Yoko's while finishing third in the race actually have very similar numbers to the RE-11's. I see how I like my 11's and if not happy may swith over to the Yoko's. I always had them on my EVO and they were great tires.

How is the Bridgestone Potenza RE11 supposed to be positioned compared to the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A – more “high end performance tire” or positioned below the RE050A?

The RE11s I would say are positioned between the high performance street tires like the PS2s, Pzeros, Advan Sports, and the R-compound tires like the Pilot Sport Cups and Pzero Corsas. They are becoming a very popular tire for auto-x, and I think from what I've been reading do not require as much heat to become sticky like r-compounds, making them the ideal track/street tire. Needless to say, I can't wait to try them.

Obviously an autocross r-type tire would require the least amount of heat, but they also wear out the fastest, by a HUGE margin.
See yeah
