Also I was right on pace with a very experienced driver in a similarly prepped RX8. He had Rivals.

I thought they wouldn't be great, but turns out they were fantastic in the rain.

Just ordered a set of these in 245/40/17 to run on the track this season. Looking forward to it!

Bridgestone has usually done well in the wet.

Have a set waiting for spring

I'm also planning on getting a set of these as well! 215/45/17 for my OZ Superleggeras 17X7 for SCCA C Stock and track days.

My pole positions are still holding strong and wearing perfectly even a year later. I thought for sure I would already be on a new set by now but these have surprised me. RE-11As are the likely next candidate as I planned previously but I'm torn whether I want to go with something stickier. I have no problem swinging 255s around with my current power.

I'm on 235/45 S04's as well with about 10k miles on them, 8 or so autox's, and 2 trackdays. According to the Motortrend below, the S04's dont really lay down a quicker lap time (same width as stock) but feel better.

I think I'll be trying the RE11A's or Z2's next, but I must say the S04's wet handling is absolutely superb.
