I know you're a track guy, but Tire Rack's reviews disagree with you. Where the RE-11's get 8.2 on ride comfort, the RS3s get 7.5. RE-11's get 8.2 on noise level, RS3's get 7.1. RE-11's get 7.8 for tread wear, RS3's get 7.3. Dry taction is 9.5 for the RE-11's and 9.3 for the RS3's
Weight is the same for the sizes I'm interested in (305/30, 245/40)


I know the reviews are customer based, but are they just all wrong?
Yes

RE-11 is imperceptibly quieter with exhaust and stereo. RS3 is softer compound with less tread depth. You putting these on the Z or a C-Class?

The Z, why do you mention C-class?
