Alright guys I'm finally picking a set of CS tires this week. Hankook RS3 V2 or Dunlop Z2. I spoke to Sam Strano (multi time SCCA national champ) and he is convinced the RS3 V2 needs a wider width that what we can fit on the 7" wheel to be effective. I had Z2s last year that I autox'd on and daily drove on and they were great. I plan on doing the same with the RS3 V2s. Thoughts?

I LOVE the Rs3 but it like a lot of camber, and we can't provide that. When I go STX, RS3 will be my weapon of choice but I'm stay on Z2s while running Street

I will report my thoughts between the Z2 and RS3 on a CS BRZ after the next event. I've been on the 235 Z2's for 3 months, and I'm switching to 245 RS3V2's.

Sam is convinced we don't have the wheel width necessary to stuff an RS3 large enough on there to be 100% effective. I agree that wheel width is this car's CS Achilles heel. I don't have the experience on the RS3 to say yay or nay. Unfortunately the RS3 V2 is too new and I can't find any reviews on folks who have daily driven on them.

Pretty loose asphalt surface. The Z2s were great last year I've just been thinking about switching it up to try something new. I was going to go Rivals but I can't DD them. Supposedly the V2s are supposed to have a better operating range and are better in the wet than the V1s.

Why not? Z2's will apparently heat cycle out over time with street miles. I've not noticed a drop off in performance whatsoever in full depth rivals,.to chorded rivals. Those that think you're going to die if you drive rivals in the rain, are either fueled on estrogen, or just bad drivers in general. Daily driving rivals is fine, I don't get it.

I think I read somewhere that different rim diameters are going to be allowed in stock class (next season)?
Has anyone considered to run on 16" instead of 17" rims? A taller 245 tire on a 7" wide 16" rim would be less pinched and therefore possibly deliver more grip (as opposed to a 17" rim). (I understand that the sidewall would flex more, but this could be overcome by turning sooner). |

At least they don't have to be shaved to not self-destruct during autocross or track time, that is what makes for a bad daily driver tire, IMO. |
