I don't know; I'm just going off of others' reviews. @kch, @ATL BRZ, or @CSG Mike could speak from personal experience.

VR1 are not available in a stock like size, 205/55/16 or 255/40/17 are the closest. You'd likely have to buy a wheel to run them if you don't already have one.

I'm already running 255/40/17 RS-3, but they are wearing out and am thinking of a replacement.

Whoops, thought you were the other guy who was asking about OE sized AD08R's w/ stock suspension.

Try out the new RS4's and let us know if they are any good.

The VR1 is quieter than the average for 200TW tires.

You can easily carry a conversation; they don't roar like the 71R or Rival S.

They're SLIGHTLY louder than a RE11, and quieter than a Z2SS/Z2.

If you can only have one set of tires, Would you consider the VR1 to be a good all around tire, street, and track? Dry and wet?

Or do you have a other prefference?

It depends on how much rain you deal with.

My personal choice is Maxxis RC1, but I have an alternate car I can drive when it's raining...

Mike, how does the VR-1 compare to the RS-3 v2 in the rain?

Talking Maxxis RC-1, what wheel are people running for the 225? I see that Maxxis recommends a 7.5". Anyone running a 9"?
