There are other tires in this class including RE-11s and Dunlop Star Specs but so far I am completely sold on RS-3s. If you want massive grip and don't need a tire to last 20k miles, or regular use below 40F, one of these tires should be on your short list.
I am not a racer and I have not learned car control near any limits. I mean, if the A/S tires schreech around a corner, I require people to refer to me as Aryton the rest of the day.

I just want to feel a summer tire one time on my car. I don't know the difference but I do think I am in for a treat, even with peppy driving being my max.
