Good question. I would probably try the RS-3's on the FR-S, to see that combo. If I have to wait anywhere near the 3 months to get them as I did with the set that's on the Z, I would choose the Rivals. The heat in the Central Valley is perfect for the RS-3s, and I had a harder time getting heat into them when running in the bay area, which is usually much cooler than at home.

Looks good gtb I'm thinking of 245/40/17 or 255s..on some rpf1 for track stuff soon. That's pretty encouraging stuff.

No wet days yet. I assume the z2 is better in rain than these, but these should do better than rs3

Hey nice work---I'd read also that they weren't great in the rain and looking at the tread you'd have never thought they'd perform that well---very cool run/video!!!!
