The Z1's dropped off in performance long before the tire was used up. I wonder if this is going to be a common theme among the newer Extreme Performance street tires, as they get closer and closer to DOT-R performance, perhaps because of shared formulation.

My RE11's have about ten track days on them. The last two days, this past weekend, the grip was well down. I blamed it on the cold, but maybe it's more than that.

I need to wait till a warmer day to see if they seem to improve.

Both of you are faster than me on staggered setups. Somewhere, I'm doing something wrong. Just need to figure out what. I'm already on the verge of dropping 2 tires on almost every turn >=T

I think those non-staggered BBS's are really holding you back. I'll trade you my AP2V3's for your BBS's. I'm pretty sure they're your problem ;)

What kind of mileage do you guys get on the RS-3's?

Anyone have any suggestions on alignment settings for RS3's for AP2 Sizes? (225/255)?

I've ran star specs for all my previous track days but I want to try RS3's out and I hear that they need a bit more camber. Thanks!

255 Hankook RS3 square, seem to like 3 degrees camber and 36f/34r hot. Might need more camber.

Ran in the rain today with the Z1SS. Exhausted, so I'll update the post tomorrow.

My camber is -2 fr and -2.5 rear and is definitely not enough camber. Due to not enough camber I wore out the outside half and outer edge very fast and got 3 track days and about 5k miles. If I flipped the tires and added camber I might have another event or two depending on the track. But then again that is with half of all four tires being worn out and just waiting for the other side of the tire to catch up. So really they were done so I ordered a fresh set and I am going to get more camber added and expect more track days out of them.

I did an autox yesterday with 255 all around RS3... Alignment -2.8 up front, -2.2 in the rear...

My front temps indicated needing a little more front camber (about 5-7 deg hotter outside to middle and again middle to inside) and the rear indicated needing a bit more camber (about 10 deg hotter outside to middle and again middle to inside)

probably gonna try -3 up front and -2.6 in the rear next alignment, but I want to do a few more events now that I have a pyrometer to make my sample size bigger before making a final decision, especially since this course was so right turn heavy that my right tires were actually warmer on the inside than outside

agree on the 3 degrees of camber but from what ive experienced, ive been running close to 40 hot and they seem to like it there.
