Re: The journey to Apu
Let us know how the RS3 goes...
My RE002s are coming to the end of its life and they've been fantastic but Hankook has their special on atm.

Re: The journey to Apu
I'd just buy the RS3s. I bought the 195/50/15 from JDMYard who don't have the special on for $113.75 each. The 225s are just a little more.
This was still cheaper than the Hankook dealers per tyre, but of course they were cheaper with the special. The problem is they didn't have stock and getting the voucher was a PITA.
It'll be a month or so before I get the RS3s on as I want to do the bushes first.

Re: The journey to Apu
Yeah, I did consider those (AD08 actually) but twice the price... Not going to get twice the grip.

it does help when I know someone that works at Yoko HQ in Sydey. got my 08R's for the price of KU31's
But those RS3's were a very close to second on the choice of tyre for my car...might try them next set

Re: The journey to Apu
Oooh...no fair!
I heard from a couple of guys who've tried RS3s and AD08s. The AD08s were marginally better in the dry, and the RS3s weren't as good in the wet.

Re: The journey to Apu
Had to get some custom made flanges for this uncommon turbo.
Aren't they gorgeous?!
