Look into Toyo Proxies, Pilot Sports, SO-3's, and if oyu want to save a few bucks, the Kumho Extsca (sp?). Check out the tire rack to see what will come in your sizes.

Anyone know what the RE040 tires weighs in comparison to an equal size S03? better yet, does anyone no where I can look for these tire weights by size?

Toyos proxes T1-S's or S03's. Can't go wrong with either one. By the way...275/35/19 SO3's are on national backorder indefinitely. 275/35/19 in general is a hard size to find right right now.

When my stock fronts wore out @ 16,000 miles (225/45-18) I replaced them with Yokohama AVS ES100's that were 245/40-18.
Now I'm running the stock 245/45-18 RE040's in back with the new Yok's up front.
I've been to one AutoX with the new fronts, and the tires seem to work pretty well. The balance seems slightly better, but that could also be due to better driving.
If I go too hot into a corner, the Yok's seem to push easier than the stock tires, but if I go softer in a corner and then accelerate out, they seem to stick better than the stocks did. Also, the Yok's seem to push a bit more when going over paint strips. Part of that could might just be the impression left by my stock tires when they had been run down to slicks.
I wanted Toyo T1-S, but the Yok's were cheap and available, so I went ahead with them. My rears are almost gone, so I'll probably try something else out on them when I get around to it.
So far I like the Yok's just fine, but then again, I never had any complaints about the RE040's either.
-D'oh!
