Yeah, I've heard some nice things about those tires. Apparently they're really nice tires on a warm sunny day, but don't handle rain too well.
What about your current R888s? |

I still have them, but I want to enjoy and drive the car again, not just autox...not about fastest anymore, more on getting out for fun

Yeah, I hear you. The work I've been doing to my car lately has been all about making it nicer to drive everyday. Replacing my short tires so I can easily reach the drive through ATM is pretty high on the todo list.
 You should look into the Dunlop Direzza ZII. They're similar to those R-S3s, but a little bit better suited to daily driving, and apparently are excellent in the rain. |

Colby, a set of these baby's on the Formula might be just what you're looking for. Maybe not so good for autocross, but hey... they're chick magnets!

Hey Colby, don't forget I only drive my car for social and rarely in the rain. I like the price of the Hankook but a 140 treadware to a 200 also works...then I have my stock 15" with the R888's which have a few events in them and that's it.

Ken, I have R888'S which are 60 treadware, and had slicks at 30 which ROCKED for autox, like glue. Again to get out and enjoy the car at the social club autox will be fun and not worry so much for times, be nice to drive and fun and not worry about swapping tires:)
