Maybe you shouldn't drive street tires on the track? Just a thought. The RS-3 might make a good track tire, but it's a poor choice for a DD. You'd be lucky to get 10K miles on a set, and it'll cost you $300+ per tire.

On C&D, Hankook V12 came in 2nd, my RE760 Sports came in 4th, but I liked the areas where it did well. The Nitto Invo came in 8th, just ahead of arguably the worst tire review I've ever seen.

So you're saying every Joe shmoe should buy R comps or slicks if they decide they wanna go to the track? Also it was my first AUTOX and I came into the corner too hot! Never have spun at a HPDE

 

I made no such claim. I made a suggestion to someone complaining about a street tire giving way at the track, the same complaint Car & Driver had in their review. They said "a soft feeling at the limit and that they were difficult to drive precisely because the grip would taper off in a nonlinear fashion". And your suggestion of the RS-3 is alot closer to a track tire than anything I said.

 

You wrote "Maybe you shouldn't drive street tires on the track?" that leads me to believe about my previous statement. RS3 is just a street tire, just like V12, INVOs, star specs and others. Anyways, I don't wanna clutter up his thread, so back on topic

 

The V12's have treated me very well, and I've been extremely pleased with them.

They've had great longevity, but still grip well (a combination you don't see often)
Also good wet-weather handling, and when they do break loose, it's very linear.

They are starting to get more noisy the older they get though, but let's face it, no tire can deliver everything, and the V12s deliver on the things that are most important to me. Especially when you factor in their relatively low price.

 

RS3's are a waste unless you have thousands to throw away every 10k miles, V12's imo are the best bang for the buck, thr quite & comfy, thr grippy & they last a long time & they are a hell of a lot cheaper than RS3's.

 

LOLWUT?

Thousands every 10k miles?

It's $950 shipped and I have 1 track day and 1000 street miles and they still look brand new. They last 20k is more like it..atleast from people that ACTUALLY have them say..

Again not trying to go off topic so OP, buy the cheapest tire you can possibly find since your car will just be DD and never see any sort of track.

 

Ah, yes! Great advice...
Then the OP can be like a friend of mine that put Linglong tires on his Subaru Impreza, only to lose massive amounts of handling and braking, which ultimately led to the cars demise when a lady in a conversion van ran a stop sign right in front of him and he couldn't stop fast enough (partly due to tires with sucky grip)

 

Yeah you're right, go buy some SUPER EXPENSIVE tires so you can go around telling people you own them and don't actually use them for they're made for! go buy the cheapest tires you can find on tire rack. No need for expensive tires..

Btw your friend sounds like he just can't drive ...

 

So... let me get this straight... either waste money, or buy crap... by your logic, why is it that you have a G35 instead of a Daewoo?.... or maybe a Zonda.... those are the only two options right? go troll elsewhere.

 

Haha opcorn:
The cheapest tires you can find?! So you can have a rough, noisy, shtty handling ride & uneven wear? Good advice.

 

First off all, I don't own a G, second if anyone is trolling it's you, everyone was giving friendly advise until you decided to jump in and just clutter stuff up..

So unless you're ACTUALLY gonna give the OP advice why don't you STFU and GTFO

 

NFSP G35: if you wanna keep arguing over nothing, shoot me a PM and we can have that conversation there, I don't wanna keep cluttering up OPs thread, like ive said 2 times before already.

 

This thread really took an ignorant turn for the worst.

Why would anyone put a G35 sedan on the track?
I love the today's youth boasting how good their Hankook, Kumho, Sumimoto and other low dollar cheap crap tires are.
There is no need to justify your tire purchase.
Bragging about how great your cheap tires are does not make them good tires.
Maybe retink your brand selection next time... For a few dollars more you could have scored a decent and quality tire.

Until then, just keep bickering amongst yourselves.


Ashamed.

 

This guy tracks his sedan lol
