Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Star Specs are heavy out-dated tires anyway, Evo guys are the only ones who fap to them anymore. I'd take the cheaper Hankook RS3's over them any day.

So you were talking about the super sports being boss right? Not the PS2 or PS3 or whatever other ps there is lol. The ones I linked

I still think I am just going to opt out of michelin and stick to my v12's. I really just need something semi affordable and need to remember I don't have 1500 to blow on tires.

There a reason the evo guys still flap about specs, the RS-3's are good tires but they sidewalls are limp dick flimsy (I.e. communicate on a light car, feel like ass on a heavier evo). Had a few ride along in the same evo, once with RS3's and once on star specs. The difference in track times, steering angle, and car feel was shocking (1.5 secs on a 40 sec course). tried adjusting the tire pressures on the RS3 with little success and improvements on times. I don't understand the RS3 hype, they feel terrible on an evo.

Hmm interesting... I guess I'll be the guinea pig here as I just ordered a set of RS3's last week in 255/40R17 for my DSM...

The RS3's to take a bit more heat to warm up than the Star Specs, I know.

Shawn, was generation of Evo was that on?
