I have some nearly brand new RS3s for sale too. They are currently on 17x9 nearly brand new wheels that fit without modification.

+1 for the DWS's. Those are my tires for 90% of my mileage. The other 10% is Direzza Star Specs for Autocrossing, group drives, etc.

i'm probably the only person who will say this.. but look into Nitto. I LOVE THEIR TIRES for performance. I've found them to act like R-comp tires.


However, all of the other suggestions seems reasonable. i've heard some bad things about the re-11 from a few people... but they could of have defective tires...

i also love the hankook i have on my sti.

Nice, I'll have to try those next. My AutoX Dunlops are getting pretty worn out

Falken Ziex ZE-612. I had three sets already. My car is daily driver, and these tires are amazing at handling snow, mud and rain (especially hydroplaning!).

I have my stock wheels with Hoosiers racing tires on it if I want to go racing, so for a daily driver tires, these lasts forever (replaced rear tires first when front tires were at 80%), handles any weather situation very well, and it performs very well for all weather/all season tires. I mean, it's not an R compound tires.

It's cheap too.

But if you're looking for performance on a weekend car, why not just get some hoosiers or Kumho racing slicks? It'll probably outperform most of the tires out there.

Edit on the Nitto NT555.... I haven't driven my S in a while and got in it... they are not great with wet traction. dry traction is amazing.
