Potenza RE-11 are simply AMAZING grip wise in dry and wet. Advan AD-08 are AMAZING in the dry but don't have the load rating needed.

As much as I love the PSS, I miss the stiff sidewall and crazy traction of the RE-11.

Do the Potenzas come in a 20"? I'm not seeing it on their website.

Actually, I don't think they do. Very limited selection in 20's as most high performance tires aren't made above 19 (the show vs. go argument I guess).

The RE-11's are amazing tires.

+1 on the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs.

I have them on the rear in 275/35/18 and they are great. I've also cut high 1.8 60 foots on them at the dragstrip lol
