Here's a direct comparo, both tires are 255's mounted on an 8.5" wheel. RS3 v. Z1 *Spec:

Sorry, can't do a direct picture link for whatever reason, work computer doesn't allow hyperlinking/picture sharing? Scroll about 3/4 the way down.


I only ran the 1'er for half a season (2013) before I ended up moving to SoCal. Prior to that, I ran a black Mazda3 wagon in Street Mod-Street tire. It had a CF hood, and bronze RPF1. You may remember that one, as I ran that car from late 2009-2012.
Yea, I've done my research...I'm preping the car to become nationally competitive.

Both the Kooks and Dunlops run wide, it is a nature of their tire. 245s should be optimal for the 8.5"
