Yes you read that correctly. Gruppe-S will be the 1st ones in the US with these types.

The Ventus R-S3 is new extreme Performance Summer tire developed for the

drivers of serious sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan enthusiasts

looking for race tire-like traction on the street or for use in autocross,

drifting and track events. It was created from the successful Ventus Z214

racing design and technology, brought to the street with improved road

contact surface area for dry traction. The result is a street tire delivering

extreme dry grip with the proven Hankook's racing tread compound.


Keep a watch out as Gruppe-S will be campaining this tire thruout the 2009 Formula Drift season.

Hawt! looks expensive

 

Real nice what are they runnin price wise

 

super NICE !!!

 

What is pricing like, is it stupid like a few companies or reasonable like the 615's used to be.

 

Sizes and pricing...any idea?

 

Sorry guys but if I post prices someone will cry and complain to the mods . I will try and get pricing up on the website today

Nice looking tire.

 

nice

 

Can you tell us how wide a 285/35/18 is in perspective to other 285/35/18's made by other brands. It's so hard to buy tires and be flush/etc with the large variances...such as Nitto's run super skinny....(at least they used to) and BFG's run super fat...and still do.

Thanks.

 

Best bet would be to check out Hankook usa's website, and look at the tires specs to be positive on the comparison.

Thank you

 

can i haz 19's?

 

+1...

 

No 19's as of yet guys, but more sizes to come so keep checking back.

Thanks

is this the new version of the RS-2? since they discontinued those tires. How gripy are they compared to the z1 star specs?

 

No comparison tests yet, but this tire is supposed to compete with the RE01R so it should be really good.

Thank you

 

big thanks to Grupp-s guys .
I will let you guys know how these baby's go on street and track next week along my new Weds SA-70s wrapped with RS-3 265x35R18s on all four corners.

 

Thanks sasquatch! I saw your tires get mounted and balanced already, we should have a tracking # for you by this afternoon.

Thanks
Gruppe-S

 

First off a bump to the top and thanks Gruppe-S for the great set-up.
Completely awsome tire. Just put them on and did a quick shake down of them.
These tires hug the road like no other and can't wait to auto cross and track them soon.
the flame imprints are true to the tires nature as these things are on fire and just love to throw smoke.

 

very nice indeed
