Group Buy - APEX 18" EC-7 Track Wheels

It looks like quite a few people from this board were involved in this group buy. So now its time to buy some tires to go with these wheels. The wheels I purchased are 18 X 10 ET 25 and I am leaning towards Ventus RS-3 275/35/18 square or maybe PSS 275/35/18 square. Whats everyone else getting? Opinions ?

Ordered Direzza ZIIs 275/35 & will hopefully try the new Rival later this year. Dropping the NT01s until the splice issue is resolved (one way or another)

I went with a staggered setup with my 1m, and am going to be running rs3 265/285 on 9.5/10.5 wheels

Rs3 are a far better track tire than pss, not comparable.

I have nt05's. Good price for an extreme summer tire to split road and track duty.

Mine will be mostly dedicated to track duty and for the first season I'll go with NT05s, 275/35/18.

I agree this splicing issue needs to play out before I would purchase these tires. Probably go with the Rs3's. Maybe I will paint the lettering yellow like Phil did.
