Hmm, good luck. I bought a set of RE-11's for my STi last year and returned them after one event! (Thanks Discount tire) They were Soooo bad in the wet it was scary...yes, even with AWD!

I hqve run RE 11 s all year wilh 1 very wet and a damp track day with no issues at all. Very good overall tire. Mine were fairly new so had alot of tread. I do think the RS3 is a slightly faster tire at the track but, that is just my impression from some other guys that run in my group.

I'll find out tomorrow. At the event last week, when I had no traction, one of the guys that drive's a G recommended the RE11's. Having used both the RE11's and the RS3's he thought the RE11's was a better all around tire and worked better in the wet and in cooler temps. He runs some really good time in the G (running in STU) and usually beats a guy driving a 350 with RS3's. His advice was one reason, the other reason I bought the RE11's is that Tire Rack didn't have the size I needed in the RS3's .

I'm planning to swap out wheels this morning and drive some backroads today and get at least 100 miles on the tires to help break them in before tomorrow.

Looking at the AX6 online it only shows they fit 09-11 370's. Will they fit a '14 with sport brakes?

Default CarboTech brake pad sizes/shapes Sport calipers

Note: Sport Brake pads F: CT1346 and R: CT1347 fit my 2014 Nismo 370Z just fine. Remember to transfer the rattle clips too. I use the CarboTech 1521s on the street and the XP8s on the track. Hope this helps.
