Hey guys - I'm in the same boat...looking for tires for added grip during DE's and autocross.

The Rivals look great. In my size (18's) it looks like they are R compound. If you start using this compound tire on the track, do you have to consider adding a deep sump extension due to the increased grip?

Just wondering...

TIA -

RS-3s and Rivals are my current favorite for street legal performance tires. They have phenomenal dry grip and hold up well under continuous lapping. They are a bit louder and not quite as comfy on the street as other more well rounded tires but if you want's grip, they got's grip.

For a driver who plans to run a lot of track days, especially on a banked Roval like Fontana or Daytona, I recommend the X51 pan or aftermarket equivalent instead of the deep sump. I think it is more effective.

I'm using all 3 sets this year. The Ventus V12 EVO on 17" wheel which work well on the street, so they are my daily use tire. The R-S3 on 18" wheels for Auto Cross and damp track days. These have great grip. the Ventus Z214 on 18", for the track on dry. These grip better than the Nitto NT01 but wear faster.

V12 The tires work well so far and can tolerate some higher -camber a set installed and balanced was, $610

Z214 got quit a lot of inside wear at above -2 degrees chamber, on my car and my set up. So currently I am at -1.5 in the rear and -2 in the front. This gave a very comfortable feel and nice flat wear. A little rounding to the last 1" to 1.5" on the outside of the front
