One of the member took a look yesterday and looks like it was rubbing the top inner fender on the left side.
Which makes sense because this happened when I was on a downhill right bank freeway off ramp exit.
So I am guessing it was understeer + driver side top fender rubbing that caused all the weird noise and smell.
Jacking back up she goes!! (Again) sigh......

They are both the same wear rating and are both performance summer tires.
The rs3 is probably a little softer though, especially on the sidewall.
His problem isn't the mismatch tires as much as the tire burning.
Maybe something is hitting them?
Just turn the wheels all the way to one side and visually inspect. At least.

It's like comparing an old boxster to the latest carrera. The front tires are not even in the same league as the rears.

Not really the point.

That would be more like comparing reo1r to re11.
The reo5o is the 'next' category down from the rs3. Comparable? A bit.
The VSA is sensitive that's all. Mine would flash when I installed re11's and went on spirited drives. Had to turn it off. That helped. Car felt fine.

RS3 >> RE11 > RE01R >>>>>> RE050
Lets not forget that the RE050 are 6 years old and dried out.
If you feel the RE050 and RS3 are somewhat comparable, you can push the car harder. They're not even close.
