me. the RS3 is a great tire, dont get me wrong. better than the RE11, but not for DD because...
  1. its LOUD
  2. needs time to heat up
  3. 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?
