The RS3 is terrible in the cold. Completely agree there. The RE-11 has the widest heat range, but it also has the lowest heat range.
The Star Spec Z1 is by far the cheapest and best option for the performance you get. Yes the RE11 is the most refined, progressive but for the cost is way too high and I don't like how they howl on the street when you get close to the limits. Even having a little bit of fun they alert the town you are near the limit.


As for the KDW2...
The KDW2 are OLD! There are much better tires and options now.
