Exclamation RE-01R...Closeout!!!
At Tire Rack...they're like 50% off or something like that...HURRY!!!

I wish I could take advantage but with baby on the way and more than 80% tread left on my tires I can't justify it.

I saw some RE-11's on their site and from rumors they are supposed to replace the RE-01R's

Wouldn't doubt it, as it seems everyone is switching to the star specs now.

I don't think it's gonna last that long. You can just imagine how many orders were put in when this was posted up. I'm sure that their supply is very limited.

You're right, they're already out of 225/45/17.

Anyone know if 235s will fit my car?

As long as you are talking 17x7 or 17x7.5, I would say 235's are not a problem. The forrester guys are running 16x6.5 with 225's.
I haven't done it, but would'nt hesitate doing it. Hope that helps. Call tire rack, see if they would approve. They may be a little cautious and say the rim is too small, but i'd say it's fine.

I just checked the prices at T.R. Wholly crap that's cheap! But if you guys don't already know, RE-11 are supposed to be the cat's meow.
