You with your G25s... Lol

I'd like to listen to my exhaust, but sometimes I can't, lol.
Maybe I drive way shittier roads than the rest? Or a bunch of concrete roads? Or forever on the "musical road". But... It's bad... Nothing I WANT out of my DD, again, why I bought 8 RS3s, and why I plan on buying 2-4 more just to keep in stock

FairladyZ10PG · 06-05-2014, 07:31 PM

Yup, on some concrete roads the noise does become unbearable...

I cant compare the ride since my RS3 are small

I just remember the RE11 rode better than the RE050 too. I remember I bought the car new, put a set of RE11 on the car before 1000 miles. I had 3 sets before I moved to the RS3.

Since I never used the RS3 in the east coast, I can't directly compare both tires. It wouldn't surprise me the RS3 is faster. One thing I can say for certain that RS3 can handle abuse a lot better. I can overdrive the car and the tires won't overheat. The RE11 would give up after 2 hotlaps at best. The tires were also okay in pouring rain, but it is not a tire I want to put on my daily driver

Which tires are youu referring to? RS3 or RE11? Im needing a new set for rear soon, my car is my dd, so im looking for stires that would perform and be safe in any weather condition.

I took it as the RS3s.

If you wanna wait. I should be mounting my set within a week, you can drive my car again to check it out

I never drove the rs3 in rain. Re11 plenty of times. It's respectable in the rain , but still have to be careful. Heck I was doing 110 down the straights with it at lime rock in pouring rain. Scary as hell

DEpointfive0 · 06-06-2014, 03:22 AM

Hell yeah they can take a beating

And it's my DD, lol

I didn't have a problem in the rain really, even close to bald, then again I'm not speed racing in the rain and my TC stays on

DEpointfive0 · 06-06-2014, 04:11 AM

LOL, I bought so many sets I might as well just mount them to every set of wheels I have

Zbrah · 06-06-2014, 04:13 AM

I may jump aboard and get some 305s.

I screwed myself a tad and I think I'm gonna have to drive hellastaggered and run 245 up front and 305 in the rear. I'm going to have a set of 305s and 275s as spares.
And RS3s are so cheap that I'm just gonna do burn outs and donuts, although I think they're too sticky for donuts, lol

FairladyZ10PG · 06-06-2014, 03:40 PM

^I was doing 55mph on the freeway and I was sliding all over the place...I've never been more scared to drive in the rain even when I had my 03' CL running some worn down cheap Hankook tires

DEpointfive0 · 06-06-2014, 03:44 PM

^I definitely didn't/don't have any of those problems, my dad was driving me in my car (had surgery) and was driving 80+ in the pouring rain on my beat down Yokohamas

FairladyZ10PG · 06-06-2014, 03:46 PM

it might be the negative camber that I'm running that's causing this problem but definitely don't feel safe driving in the pouring rain on my RE-11s

DE? Any thoughts on Advan Neova AD08R?
