I'm loving these Hankook R-S3s already. The release is pretty much scrubbed off and I'm pushing them a little more every time I drive.
They're quieter than I thought they would be from the reviews I'd read but that may be a function of the blower, the 4.57 diff, and all the other noises my car makes.

Thanks again Doug!

You are more than welcome, thanks for posting a thanks!

Curiosity, what pressures you running?

I found the 16" R-S2's liked pressure, so based upon that here is where I'm at right now

The garage had my 17" R-S3's set at 32, I ran them for a while and hated the feel, too loose and un-stuck to the road

I'm up to about 300 miles on mime, I have the fronts cold at 34, and the backs cold at 36

My alignment settings are far from stock, and I have an extra 65-ish pounds on the back half of the car

Play around with bringing the rear up
I honestly believe 32 is too little air for these tires
Just go to 34 F and 34 R for a full tank of gas and see how it feels

Understood. I found I was snubbing people for weeks.

I'm running the 225/50X16 RS3 on OEM wheels using 42PSI front and 40PSI rear for street. For autocross I drop the front to 38PSI and rear to 34PSI. Still waiting for them to make a 245/45X16.

Done and done. I'll let you know if it's any different.
