Gotcha, what do you think about the Dunlop Z2s vs the Hankook RS3s? It looks like the Z2's only come in 275/35R18 or 285/30R18 (for large widths), but I've heard that the Z2s are better than the RS3s.

So many different config options, haha.

the term "better" is subjective. im yet to try the new dunlops, but to my knowledge the RS3 is still the fastest lap time wise street tire. I wanted to try the new dunlop but since it only comes in those two sizes you mentioned, i was discouranged because those over all diameters are short on the 370. 285/35/18 is kinda small already diameter wise but i feels is acceptable. only ties though that come in that size are NT05 and RS3
