RS3's!!!!
 
Slapped the 225/45 RS3's on our car tonight! Of course it has been raining for what feels like 3 weeks straight so it's not like I went out and railed the first corner I came across. What I can say is the drive home confirmed the obvious softness of the Primacy sidewalls. I swear it feels like we installed coil overs with 700-600 rate springs on the car! I can feel EVERYTHING! That plus the improved feel and weight of the steering and I am fairly happy. Tomorrow, SNOW! lol.

I'll get to beat on them eventually! :thumbsup:

Be careful in the snow... RS3's can split if you stress them too much when they're COLD cold.

On stock wheels?

225's on stock wheels. Wouldn't recommend going any wider than that on the 7's. the 235 and 245's would have HORRIBLE break away tendencies at the limit if forced onto the stock wheel. The 225's fit nice and square!

If it snows tomorrow and I have to go anywhere, I'll take the 190e with Star Specs on it! lol

And the RS3's have softer sidewalls than the Star Specs still, so just imagine it with Z1's or Z2's!

We have 15" Z1's on our Mercedes and in all honestly, they ride really nice.
