There a reason the evo guys still flap about specs, the RS-3's are good tires but they sidewalls are limp dick flimsy (I.e. communicate on a light car, feel like ass on a heavier evo). Had a few ride along in the same evo, once with RS3's and once on star specs. The difference in track times, steering angle, and car feel was shocking (1.5 secs on a 40 sec course). tried adjusting the tire pressures on the RS3 with little success and improvements on times. I don't understand the RS3 hype, they feel terrible on an evo.

Hmm interesting... I guess I'll be the guinea pig here as I just ordered a set of RS3's last week in 255/40R17 for my DSM...

The RS3's to take a bit more heat to warm up than the Star Specs, I know.

Shawn, was generation of Evo was that on?
