It makes sense since AR1s are only slightly faster than the tires like NT01 and R888Rs in 100 tw tire category ..hybrid R comps.
RRs on the other hand is slightly more aggressive than them (similar to Cup2 , Trofeo Rs) maybe. I chose the 315/30/18" RRs for 18" sizes,. I also heard they (AR1s ) also heat cycle out whereas NT01s or R888Rs don't. According to the testers RRs also last the longest out of the three

Unfortunately the RRs are kinda off the table since I will be driving to/from the Ring on this set up and random showers/downpours are pretty frequent in the Eiffel mountains so I don't want to get caught out on the wet autobahn with the near slick RRs haha
My main dilemma is the AR-1s vs the G3Rs... also is it safe to run the 315 AR-1s on an 18x10.5? I would much prefer this so I could rotate them front/rear. I don't really know what other tire I would want to run on the 18s if I don't like the AR-1s as well, so it may be better to just stick with the 19s so I can run RS4s, G3s, G3rs, or AR-1s in 305s.
