I ran the Excsta XS 245s for two seasons, they were pretty good. A big improvement over the Nitto555s I was running prior. My issues there were the lack of wet traction (there was none) and road noise. They also had a pretty narrow "sweet spot" during their life.

I'm back on NT05s this season and what a MAJOR difference in the performance. They are much better matched to my JIC suspension and turn-in is wonderful on them. Wet traction has yet to be determined but road manners are much better. Overall, I'm a Nitto guy for a while now...

I will say I did TRY to go RS3 but the size I needed was out of stock for a while and I needed to make an event....
