RS-3 prices on the rise?
Is it me or have the prices of Hankook RS-3s jumped significantly since last year? A full set (on tire rack) currently costs $583. I paid $100 less than that just last year!

I don't know about all of that. I've had htr-zIII and RS3s and there is a decent gap in performance between the two. I've never owned star specs, but I've autocrossed on them and didn't notice much difference in performance with the RS3s. I've heard star specs warm up quicker, but the tires were already warm when I drove on star specs, so I have no opinion in that regard.

Says who?
Z1's are more expensive.
They loose their grip towards the end far more than RS3's do.
They're noisy before the limit (annoying but great for newbs)
They don't sound like I have bad wheel bearings
Dunlapped makes them.
The first three kill it for me.
We all have our own likes and dislikes I'm sure but to say they're not nearly as nice is very opinionated.
I personally don't like either but the RS3 is cheaper and has good grip. If they were the same price as Z1's I'd probably get AD08's or something similar.
