Ditch the Re11 and get the S03 or Goodyear F1's. Few people have complained about the Re11 on here.

Cheers

I've had the same problem on my Potenza's, also getting lots of tyre noise due to uneven tyre wear and the cornering has gone a bit Sh1te, does feel like a blackpool tram and my they feel like the surface of the moon when you run your hands over them

Just ordered Eagle F1 for mine as it appears they are the dogs licky bits from what I've been reading on here. The reviews for the S03's however are not so good.

I've also learnt that with stiffer suspension setups (i.e. scoobies) its wise to get the geometry checked more often than at service intervals as the stiffer ride can upset the geom thereby sh@gging up your tryes, maybe this is obvious, it wasn't to me!!

I found and read here that tramlining increases with the wear on the tyre. My SO2s were prone to it especially towards the end of their use but the F1s on now are very good wet and dry IMHO.
