What about Hankook's

The Ventus R-S3 recently won the Grass Roots Motorsports tire test. This tire beat the mighty R-11 and StarSpec, among others. Now if you go to any auto-x you see

Default Have you checked out the R-S3?

Now if you go to any auto-x you see everybody in the street tire classes running R-S3's.

Or do what I did and buy used RE-11's at half the price...

Im currently running the V12s. They are a pretty good street tire for daily driving. Wet traction is great. Dry traction is good but could be better. I like the tread life on these, I wore my stock Bridgestones down to the wires in the rear in under 20k. Sidewalls a little soft as everyone has stated. I think this is a good choice for a daily driver. I believe I paid under $1000 for all 4, maybe even closer to $900 so you may wanna shop around.

Dude, the V12s are nowhere close to the RS3. It's like saying my Cube is faster than GTR because they are both Nissans.

As for the RS3, I think they have very limited sizes in 19s. You are going to have a tough time seeing it on the 370
