Plus went from $1393 shipped to $862 shipped......WHO COULD PASS THAT UP?!!? Went 285/35/18 square set up like you did Clint.
I really like the 370 on square sizes. the thermal behavior of the tires is optimal, and the handling balance is nice because the forward weight bias of the Z benifits from the wide front tires.

won't get to really test the square setup till the 11th. Have an event tomorrow but obviously they won't be here by then. I'm just excited to get on a good set of tires that can actually be pushed a bit. Any driving tips you would like to share on the RS3's any characteristics of the tire I should know about?

They grip and grip and grip and I have yet to get them greasy on relatively cool track days. Super predictable handling.

So just thought I'd update. I received my tires today. 2009 production? Nope, my D.O.T. # show that the tires I received today were actually produced the 29th week of 2010 Even newer then they advertised!

Hmmm about to pull the trigger on 245/40/19 fronts. I have a hole in my 265/35/19's that can't be patched and these RS-3's seem too good to pass up. Might like going back to a 245 in the front. My 265 doesn't turn as well. Just worried about how it's going to look with brand new RE-11's in the rear right now.....
