I've been researching tires for the past two months to the point where I go cross-eyed, and have narrowed down to the RS3 or the RE-11A.

I'm using the OEM wheels as my track wheels, since theyre already a bit chewed up by the corrosive brake dust that the Hawks put out, but I will still drive to and from the track on my track tires and wheels. I'm looking at the RS3 first, as from what I have read, they are still drivable in the rain, but no performance whatsoever. Since I'm primarily only driving an hour and 1/2 to and from the track, these should suffice.

However, the second on my list is the RE-11A, as they apparently take heat much better than the ZII, and have a little bit better wear than the ZII as well, and are good in the rain. If I ONLY had 1 set of wheels and tires for both DD and track, that would be my choice.
