It's time for new tires. Should I get the R-S3s or the star specs?
I have the R-S3s on order but I should have a little time before they ship to change my mind.

The RS3's like the heat....it will be here soon.
I agree with Sam. The Star Spec is great for a car that you also daily drive or an autocross-only tire for the Spring and Fall. But during the Summer, I think the heat will win out. The Star Spec does everything well, though. The RS3 just has that incredible grip in the heat.
If they only made smaller sizes...Quote:

Thanks guys. Sounds like the consensus is the R-S3 tore ;)
Screw you guys! ::Bleh::

These tires will be just for autocross and getting to and back home from events. I agree with you that the star specs are a much better street and rain tire.
For the Stook, I think the RS3 is the choice.
As far as the other question raised about 205 vs 225, talk to Jerrett. He has experience with both.
