I'd have to beg to differ. I don't know what Tire Rack says, but I can personally vouch for the performance being nowhere close LOL
Works well in the rain, summer, etc. I guess not snow, though. How about "California all-season"? 😃
And they last quite a while.

 

All Season: Continental Xtremecontact
Summer: Michelin Supersports
Double Duty (Street/track): Bridgestone RE71R

That's about it.

 

I daily with Toyo R888s and I love them

 

Why?

 

Well first they handle great in dry weather, never have to worry about not catching traction. Not a pain to drive in rain as long as i don't floor it and they've lasted me for a while considering they're radials. Ive had all seasons and I just hated the way they performed cause I would always spin in all weather conditions.

 

They don't performa like the RS3 because they're an old/outdated tire. Doesn't mean they aren't in the same category.

Your car probably makes enough power to need the grip lol. I still couldn't see daily driving a tire that won't more than 10k miles, and is as loud as the R888...lol

 

heard good things on nasioc about the federal 595rsr cheap and sticky

 

some biderectional tired you can rotate and in the high performance range, yoko advans etc

 

you can actually rotate any tire, as long as you don't drive in the rain.
