Out west here, almost everyone uses RS-3's it seems. You can barely find anyone at our track days not running them. The few exceptions are PS3's(Biemer crowd), and some yokohamas and such in the Subie/Civic crowds. Of course some guys go 888, NT1, etc, but that's generally only if you are trailoring and have the brakes to back it up. Even a lot of the Time Attack guys stick with RS-3's for some reason.
They are my first set of track tires, and I basically bought what they told me and I can't really compare them to anything, but there is nothing they can not handle as far as I have seen on stock suspension and brakes. The more you slide the stickier they get. I believe they cost less than re-11's as well. A lot of guys joke and call them "cheater tires" because they list UTQG 200 now(up from 140).
