    Oh I can get more :) They're stored in climate controlled warehouses so
    they're good. Apparently theres not much info on the about these. They
    seem popular with bimmers and UK folks

    Never heard of those.

    The 235/40 will change your speedo by about 5mph (reading fast). They're a bit shorter in diameter.

    Just got my car back. It does read about 5mph faster at 70mph.

    The tires are actually a032's. They're sticky when warmed up.
    They're a bit noisy for daily driving.

    The tires are a bit lighter than the re01r's plus the slightly smaller diameter
    makes it even lighter. I picked up a set of rare mint wedsport tc105n
    from my trip up in the northwest and they weigh in less than 15 pounds!
    Between the tire change and the wheels I'm 8 pounds less per corner.

    The car drives completely different! The steering is noticably lighter
    and nimbler! I can't wait to take it to a track.
