me. the RS3 is a great tire, dont get me wrong. better than the RE11, but not for DD because...

its LOUD
needs time to heat up
near useless in rain

maybe if i lived in southern california where theres hardly ever any rain or below 60 degree temps i could run it as a DD tire. but we get 30-40 degree mornings up here for half of the year

well d/t budget looks like i have to go with them in a 285/35/18 sqaure. the RE-11 sizes suck and only a NT-05 is made in a 295/35/18 but costs over $200 more. my cars loud enough so its whatever on #1.

Have you driven the latest version of the RS3? It doesn't sound like you have based on your description. I don't know about loud, but the current RS3 certainly heats up fast enough and is definitely not useless in the rain...well that could be subjective. Are you comparing the RS3 to a Conti DWS?
