The rs3s also dont make a lot of road noise which is good.

Hardsteppa, i will check out the RSRR next time i need a new set of tyres. Thanks

I'd go a ride in a car with RSR/RSRR before deciding, from all I've read they're cheap and stick well but very noisy. Some have compared the noise to the KU36, which I run, and that's certainly a noisy tyre.

RS3's are meant to have a good balance between price/grip/wear/noise.

i run RSR on the GTR and would never complain about road noise... They have a slight hum but you don't really notice it after a while. And that is even with a relatively quiet exhaust.

it is indeed.

had Rs3's for a few months and yeah they're not bad, but...ad08r's now on all four wheels and wow..I can honestly say, never experienced anything like it. Best tyre I've ever used.

I've had ad08r on my car for a while now. Done a few track days on them and driven daily, they still have 85% + tread and grip the same as when new. Compared to cheap motorsport Street tyres, rsr, 123s etc. These actually last and it will be a long time before you see their performance drop off. Easily the best road tyre I have used that can handle and work well on the track (never used rs3 to compare though). I've recently been using A050 semis for my last 2 track days and have only managed to go 1 second quicker. If I don't end up going at least another sec quicker, I'll be going back to ad08r.

Can anyone comment on re71r ? Will these tyres be a waste if used for street only? I think these are on par with the ad08r ?

The new re71r's are amazing.  I was strongly debating mounting a set but a great deal came up that I couldn't pass on.  They are hugely popular in auto cross in the states.  If you drive spiritedly, you would enjoy the extra grip but I doubt you would get anywhere close to their limit on the street.  I haven't even hit the limit on my 003's.  In the end, they're one of the best street tires you're going to find, but to determine if they are worth it to you would be dependent on your driving style.

I initially wanted re003 as i think the re003 would last longer than the re71r... plus maybe the re003 would be better on the wet too compared to the re71r... then again i think the tread wear rating for both are 200 and 210 respectively so not much difference. (I could be wrong) but thanks for the feedback! Might really look into it. ..

If the RE71R is a rave-worthy tyre, then the RE003 is a long way from that.  I put them on my car.  Previously having used AD08Rs and before that various KU36s etc.  The RE003 has nowhere near as much dry grip as the AD08R, so should be at least as far behind the RE71R.  The RE003 is pretty good in the wet, no argument.  The life expectancy looks to be pretty reasonable.  I'm going to get a lot more life out of them than the AD08Rs, which is the main reason I decided to try them.

FWIW, I'd probably use the RE003 again, even with lower grip levels.  They're still a pretty good tyre.

ok i'm revising my vote. AD08's are great, and hopefully they should last a while, but, RSRR's are the best (grippiest dry, and I also found them fine in the wet)  tyre I've used. Don't last long, but, don't cost that much either.

Don't slap me around here but I'm running NS2R's by Nankang.

Semi Slicks very good in the dry and in the wet I had traction in 1st my old Bridgestone R002's didn't.

Not saying the best tyre but pretty good so far.

Have 1000km on them but that's first review.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
