We'd be suggesting RE-11's if they were the same price.

They are both awesome tires for autoX, the wider the better. But like all wide sticky tires, they will hunt a bit on the freeway and you won't get as many miles out of them as you would a normal summer tire...not great for gas milage either. That's why I have a (narrow) Summer set (Rotas and Bridgestone Sport Maxx) and a (wider) AutoX set (5Zigens and StarSpecs). But most people just have one set they use for AutoX and Summer driving, which is fine.
