Hankook RS-3 vs Dunlop Z1SS vs Federal 595 RS-R vs Bridgestone RE-11 - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums
Great comparison of tires here from a S2K driver....
Not 100% applicable to our cars but worth a read

It looks like they'd be OK for autoX by this review, but I plan on some double duty race course as well. If they do indeed have these heat issues, it looks like they're out, as i'm sure they'll overheat even faster in the Fit (in the front anyway) than the S2K
The place I saw people running them was out at the Castle Air Force auto cross in Atwater. I am headed there again this Sunday so I will ask around and see if I can get more feed back.
Also if your looking for awesome deals on tires, PM JDMxGE8. Matt is awesome and is hooking me up with my new Toyo's!

It seems RS3 in that size is hard to find and people are having a tough time keeping them stocked in any size... I know it's a good tire. I may end up going with the Toyo R1R as it's reasonably affordable.

Sounds like your running 16's?
Those tires are much more common than my odd sized 15's lol
Matt @ Raceline keeps allllll kinds of stuff in stock, and honestly I have nothing but good things to say about my RS3's

How much did the RS3's run you for 4? Just trying to get a general idea, I know prices may vary.
Thanks Wafulz, appreciate that, I could maybe ask a buddy in LA to pick up for me if I were to do that.

Right now 205 55 16 RS3's on tire rack are $520 before tax or shipping. I say start there and see if you can get anyone to beat it! The phone is your friend, and I should have paid extra to have mine heat cycled

Honestly I got a steal, Americas/Discount Tire does a yearly thing with a $50-100 rebate card when you buy 4 tires. I was able to combine that with an additional $50 rebate from Hankook so I stole them

I loved the 750s as a spirited daily tire when I had it on my former car. Bro ran 760s and enjoyed it as well on his daily wheels.
Bridgestones are wonderful, I simply love my RE11s and the review the s2k guy made is pretty dead on.

I've got a set of 205/50/15's, I rate them very highly. Can't go back to regular road tyres. I do use them daily, wet performance isn't the greatest but its really not THAT bad...
Done several trackday and skidpan events with them, holding up pretty well in terms of tread wear. Yes they do perform best once warmed up, did a track day in Winter (see a mild Autumn day in North America) and I got a pretty decent slide going on the 1st out lap.
Bang for buck? Definitely!

^Thank you for confirming the required warm up
Looks like these will be road course only for me. Guess i'll end up with Azenis again, they were well rounded and the 4th lap greasyness isn't that terrible unless you're competing, which I am not. Interested in seeing how much of that was fixed with the K version.

I had these on my 08 STI a couple of years ago. Absolutely fantastic in the dry - very quiet, incredible grip; easily the stickiest tires I've ever driven. I didn't find them to be all that bad in the rain, but the Hankook Ventus V12's are better.
