I really love the AD08s. Great dry traction on the street and behave like an R compound on the track

How's their sidewall stiffness and tread wear? and how do they stand on long track sessions?

Some of this will come down to feel. The RS3 feels a lot gummier than the RE11.
They have a lot of grip in warm/dry condition, but they do break down quickly once you get into cold/wet situations. They also seem to struggle on tight courses with cars that push heavily, and you wind up with some funky wear patterns etc. I've seen this on most cars that ride heavy up front, especially the subarus and 370z's

Seems like R-S3's are as soft as R compound tires, here its always warm, so cold conditions would never be a problem.
Dont know if this is against the forum rules but I haven't found many vendors having them in stock (19"), only Tirerack, thought Hankook's would be the cheapest of all, but its complete opposite. Anywhere else i can get a better price?

RS3 $355
305/30/19
AD08 $359
RE-11 $383
RS3 $457
Considering Price, having warm/dry weather all the time, performance and mixed street/track use, what would be your pick?
