Default +/- 2% either way but I would probably go with the 35's.

Default 275/30ZR19 Bridgestone RE01-Rs will not rub, and have exceptional grip

You'll be 3 mph fast at 60 mph, and 4 mph fast at 100.

Default my 275s rubbed with the ohlins at the track on the driver's side

where it was taking most of the load at Infineon. But, it was also a tad lower than the passenger side. That's been fixed and no problems on the street.

BTW, I would remove the hex screw under the front fenders.

You will rub under compression with the 275/35-19

Default Anyone tried RE050A 275.30.19? I've had them on my S4, they're superb...

in rain and quiet as mice. Load rating seems acceptable for the RS4 too.

When deciding on track tires, how much importance are you guys putting on the load rating? In addition to the REO1-Rs, another good track tire would be the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup--comes in a 265/30/19, but is also rated less than 1565 lbs; great tire though.

Default SteveRS4 did

they work well with the stock suspension and ran well on the track, too. they are also a bear to mount.
