Both are great tires, but the R-S3's are by far better on the track. On the street they are a wash with maybe a slight edge to the RE-11's especially when cold. I have had both and I have tracked both. The R-S3's are a bit noisier to begin with, but after some track time the RE-11's get noisy as well.

As far as the tread wear rating is concerned I read that the compound is the same in both the 140 and 200 it's just that when the were new they had to rate them as such and once more long term testing was done they re-rated the same compound knowing that it is more of a 200 tread wear rating. Great for us Lemons racers, because they now qualify and they are the best on track.
