they released the RE-11A not too long ago thats probably why the originals are on close out, but for daily tires i am going with the toyo proxes R1R's, they have been proven reliable and a good fit for very light cars from what my friend and i have been reading across various forums i am very curious about the new BFG rivals so far it seems people who run auto x events with wrx's have good luck with them due to there seeming to be a solid tread section on the outer edge of the tire with the subaru mcpherson strut setup ive ran the RS-3's before and im not too impressed as far as a track tire but for a street tire they were fun the problem i had at the track is i couldnt keep em hot enough once they got hot my times kept getting better but in wisconsin where it could be 90 one day and 45 the next i would hate to be driving on rs3s overall though you really cant argue when it comes to the price versus say the ad08 or re11
