Here in Australia, I have found the Direzza II to be superior to the RS3 but only by a small margin. That said, this was before I went square (running 245/40R18 fronts and 275/35R18 rears in both tyres).

I now run 265/35R18 A048 Yokis (full R-Spec, but new "old stock" as they were superceded 2 years ago by the A050) on 9.5 Enkei's which are clearly superior to both.

I can only translate into equivalent laptimes at Philip Island GP circuit where the RS3 is a baseline at 1m54, the Direzza is worth 1.2s per lap and the Yoki's are 3.5s/lap over the RS3.

I am not sure about ambient temps in your area, nor the grip level afforded by the asphalt. Most of our track running is done in high teens Celsius unless it is Feb/Mar or Nov/Dec when it can be high 20's or even more and my comparative times were set in our Autumn. Note that PI GP circuit is a very absrasive surface and we need to be very careful with camber to avoid blistering the inside edge of RH tyres because of the number of very high speed LH turns. The Direzza seems to be better able to absorb the abrasive nature of the track than to RS3 which goes off by the time you get to T12 on the 3rd lap whereas that is when the Direzza really comes on and stays gripped up for up to 6 laps.

I have no experience of the RE11 as they are not available here.
