Well I point blank ask him what ST tire he would buy today.. and this is how he replied.

ScoobySouth...tough to say...I don't own an ST car anymore. For most folks, I think the Rival will be faster than the ZII, especially right out of the box. Comparing to the 195 R1R on small cars is still up in the air.

Interesting how he looked at it tho.. for sure

If he says that the Rival is a better R-S3... I'm in. Jury's out in the rain, though.

The Z2 I drove on gave astounding lateral grip for a little 215, but it seemed to not be progressive--kinda 'peaky' as he states. If it rains, this tire looks to be really good, per the tests.

Great times we live in to be an ST competitor!
