Some of the professional reviews mentioned that the III is a big improvement over the II and the fact that Sumitomo is owned by and takes advantage of Dunlop technology.

I've autocrossed IIIs and Star Specs on my M3. The IIIs get greasier than the Star Specs and they get there faster. I have a fair amount of camber in the back on the M3, and the insides of the tires were getting hot fast (Louisiana heat doesn't help). But you should monitor temperatures regardless of the tire. You don't want to be giving up time to hot tires!
