Omg you guys are such ******** for the temptation. I am in for 4 even though it is a little small and I only have two rims. Must order when I get home

Wow

I've got the BFGoodrich Rivals on order but this was just too good of a deal to pass up lol. 4 on the way for me as well. May sell em to a friend if anything for a little more lol

Damn. Wish they were 19s. I need new street tires for the 370.

The 19's are on sale too if you see it says "2009 production"

245 or 305 though

Used to have the 275's. sorry

Damn wish someone had told me

285/35/18 is the perfect size for my setup, but 4 year old production is kinda on the edge of being "too old". great price though

Yeah I actually called Tirerack and had them cancel my order lol. If I was back in Texas where I could put the tires to use EVERY weekend then hell yeah. Burn em with no regrets lol. But here in Hawaii, 1 AutoX event per month. Just wouldn't burn fast enough lol.

As long as they were stored properly, they are fine. The key is not to get any heat cycles on them. Mine arrived today, they are soft as butter

like i said 4 year is kinda on the edge, so could be fine, or could be on the side of getting old. not knocking anyway buying them, im still kinda considering, and TR does store their tires properly.

Ordered mine on 7/20 and got em today.Good lookin out chrischhorn !

Yup, swapped my Order from the BFG Rivals to the RS'3s today. Couldn't resist as the Rivals production for the 295/35/18 got pushed back yet again and I've already been waiting over a month and my tires are getting really bad. Plus went from $1393 shipped to $862 shipped......WHO COULD PASS THAT UP?!!? Went 285/35/18 square set up like you did Clint. :happydance:

I really like the 370 on square sizes. the thermal behavior of the tires is optimal, and the handling balance is nice because the forward weight bias of the Z benifits from the wide front tires.

won't get to really test the square setup till the 11th. Have an event tomorrow but obviously they won't be here by then. I'm just excited to get on a good set of tires that can actually be pushed a bit. Any driving tips you would like to share on the RS3's any characteristics of the tire I should know about?

They grip and grip and grip and I have yet to get them greasy on relatively cool track days. Super predictable handling.

So just thought I'd update. I received my tires today. 2009 production? Nope, my D.O.T. # show that the tires I received today were actually produced the 29th week of 2010 :tup: Even newer then they advertised!

ok i bit the bullet, ordered some 285/35/18 x4

I didn't even check, they have been sitting in the storage unit. I am tempted to do thunder hill or Sonoma or autos this weekend

just got mine today, same prod date

Hmmm about to pull the trigger on 245/40/19 fronts. I have a hole in my 265/35/19's that can't be patched and these RS-3's seem too good to pass up. Might like going back to a 245 in the front. My 265 doesn't turn as well. Just worried about how it's going to look with brand new RE-11's in the rear right now.....
