Swoope,
My experience with Bridgestones is that you will have much better consistency if you heat-cycle them at least once before you use them in anger.
(I've also only used them shaved, so I can't comment on full tread).

FYI,
For those looking for a good deal on 17" r comps, tiredeals4less.com has 255/40-17 Toyo R888s on sale for $172.75 each. I ordered a set from them a couple of weeks ago.

not at all..
i think i am going to use them up.. they are very good on track. dont get greasy..
if that helps.. i dont have tread depth info.. but i think i have about 10k miles on them.. and 3 track days.. and the last one was a long one. with a double stint.
they do very well..

Swoope I just used my RE01R's at the track this weekend. They were awesome in the rain, never really had any scary moments. Sadly didn't really get to see much of their dry capability as only my last 2 sessions were anywhere close to dry. I may use them for a session or two at Roebling in May to see the difference compared to the Nittos.
