Hankook changed the treadwear to 200 because that's the minimum UTOQ for many sanctioning organizations like SCCA and Chump Car...were Toyo and Dunlop dominate.

Can you post or PM how much that was for the transport and back? I see those trucks outside of AutoTalent in Torrance all the time.

What about the RE-11s that are on sale right now as well? Would you take the R-S3's over the RE-11s?

Since RS3s don't come in the sizes that I need, I bought RE-11s for my 19 inch wheels and tracked them at Spring Mountain in Dec. They were actually pretty good.

+1 I'd like to know what the cost of the transport is as well. I'm thinking about doing a PCA event at COTA in May and would only do it if I can get my car shipped out there. Would it be cheaper if I got 1 or 2 other cars to go with mine? Shoot me a PM with the details.

Gotcha. The RE-11s were about $100 more so I ended up just getting the R-S3s.

I've been told it's more to trailer a car INTO Cali and cheaper to transport one out since we buy up so many cars here.

I was laughing at you as you were getting super excited with a Starbucks in your hand. I was thinking...this guy don't need no Starbucks!

Looking forward to driving with you somewhere in the future. Check out Road America with the Badger Bimmer chapter...it's an awesome event!
