Width from widest to narrowest
RS3
Star Specs
595 RS-R
RE070
RE-11
NT-05

Unknown (I haven't tried)
R1R
AD08
XS
RT615K
I had R1Rs and Z1s on the same rim (17x9 TRwheels) side by side last weekend. The R1R is slightly narrower by a hair if that... Off the rims their widths are the same at about 10" wide. The R1R begs to be stretched IMO...
The 595 RS-R is just a hair narrower than the Z1SS. (see my tire thread for pics of them next to each other, both on a rim and loose) Do you know if it would be wider or narrower than the 595 RS-R?

Thanks!

Probably never, since the RS3 universally accepted as being faster, as well as cheaper.

I've been researching and read that the AD08's run really wide, about 10mm more than what the tire size says
wouldn't that equate to more mechanical grip or advantage?

RS3 is really wide and for some odd reason has "R-comp level" grip in the first few heat cycles for about $70-80 less per tire...

From my experience, widest to narrowest...

-AD08
-RS3
-Star Spec/XS/RE11

The AD08 is a good amount wider than the rest. I've never done a measurement on it, but visually, it's a big difference. The shoulders are very squared off. Between the SS, XS, and RE11, they are very close.
