I've actually got a set of these sitting on what will be my summer rims next year. I've driven on track with them and I found grip was inconsistent so I'm not interested in running them again.

I do 3k miles in 3 months daily driving on a 60 mile round trip commute.
I would still save up for a second set of track wheels. Saves you lots of money in the long run.

3000 miles is for the season then I switch to winter tires for the rest of the year.

The last two track days on them were at Calabogie on hot days, which just chews up tires too. I also drive A LOT more than 5000km's in a summer, probably more like 10-12000km's.
My camber is -2.2F / -2.5R (no camber adjustment in the rear, ideally it would be less) and toe is 0F / 1/16"R.
Don't squish a 245 onto an 8" wheel with the RS3's, they're a bit softer in the sidewall and will feel better with a 225.
You could probably get a full summer out of RE71R's, but they'll overheat pretty quick on a track so probably aren't your best bet. They'll be good for 2-3 hot laps, then fall off. Great for time attack, not so great for general lapping.
I had Dunlop ZII's, and wanted the ZII SS, but the RS3's were like $400 cheaper for the same size.

It sounds like RS3 should be fine so I'll probably go that route. I'd consider the Z2SS but they are really expensive so probably not. Thanks everyone for your input!
