The RS3 and R888 are probably a bit stickier than I need for street driving. I'd take a little extra mileage than the extreme grip those offer. I'm not even going to consider the RE050's again, since all the other tires mentioned here are better and cost relatively the same or even less.

Does anybody run oversize tires on the sport rims that aren't the RE11's? Would S04's that big work?

Does anyone run anything in between the 275-305 on the rear?

FP, I guess one of the benefits of winter storage is having to buy tires less often! At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself since I can't drive it right now.
S-04's don't fit as well at RE-11s in these sizes. the sidewalls are different and so is the section width. they fit but dont look nearly as good. also i'm unsure as to any performance decreases based on the fitment of the S-04s being odd.

i buy tires just as much as year round driving people i would assume. i DD my Z and i know it's like 50/50 with people who DD it and just weekend drive it based on location as well. i buy a full set of rubber every spring and this next spring i may add in a set of rear DR's just for fun. well that is if i can ever find a 18" wheel that'll clear the rear brakes or just end up with a ABS/traction lights with a oversized set of 19 DRs in the rear.
