2 Autocrosses ago a husband and wife spanked me in B Street with an S2000 and they were running the BFG G-Force Rivals. Of course that was the time I was running the DZ101s (but I don't think that accounted for all of the six seconds by which I was spanked...). I have heard they are a great tire and especially good for folks that are newer as they are more forgiving at the limit. I heard that can be a potential downside for top drivers because they lose the feedback that lets them go to the very edge. (I am too new to know the difference for myself...)

Most other folks with street rubber were on the RS-3 except for Miatas which were 50/50 on Direzza ZII and RS3.

Last time I went I had the RS3 mounted, and I also had a co-driver that usually wins his class and is close to FTD in his Honda fit, and his fastest run was 2 seconds faster than mine. I feel like that is progress
