Speculation on the RS3 v2 has been they changed the compound to warm up quicker for autoX guys ... maybe at the expense of being quicker to overheat for the time attack guys.

Speculation for the ZII Star Spec is it will hold heat better but maybe lose it's cold surface advantage over the RS3.

Ultimately these tires may end up being pretty similar to each other instead of having very different characteristics from their previous generations. Price alone would dictate I'd probably still choose the RS3 v2 but Hankook better get their shyt together as far as production capacity.
