R888 vs rs3
Okay guys,
I'm asking here since most of you guys acutally use your cars.
Has anyone got to compare the 225/45/15 of the RS3 and R888 in person? I'm wondering how much wider if any the R888 is compared to the RS3's that I have now. I'm looking to fill some of Robert's N2 flares with them. I use the car as my daily so no I will not run slicks (hoosiers) on them.
Thanks

From what I've read, if you're going to go beyond the stickyness/treadwear of RS3's you should go straight to the NT01's, and here's a thread comparing them to the RS3's...

Yeah I've been eyeing those as well. I'm not really looking for anything to much sticker than the RS3's just because it is my daily ride. I figured the 888 might be a better daily than the nt01. I'm really looking for something wider than the RS3 just because I'm going to run 15x10's or 16x10's to fill my flares.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if the R888 had less lateral grip than a fresh set of RS3s. I would take an RS3 over an R888 in every situation (track, race, street driving, rain tires, office chair duty, shimming your RV to level on weekend trips, sex swing, burning them to alerting authorities of your location after a plane crash, etc).
