I seem to recall this coming up once before so I did more research on the RE-11s and decided against them (again). Aside from them not having 275/35/18, the rating is 180 (versus 200) and the sidewall is much stiffer, which was my main complaint with two prior sets of Bridgestones (SO-2/SO-3s).
All that for 40% more money ($200 vs. $280 on Tirerack). I'm sure they are great tires but considering mine are doing everything I ask of them, I can't see a reason to switch.
