The Hankook Ventus R-S3 is similarly priced at $265 for 285/35/18 and are 140 treadwear compared to the 200 treadwear of the Dunlops.

There seem to be a lot of winners using a Toyo Tire, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out which Toyo tire that is. Proxes R1R maybe? Not sure, they are not on Tirerack anyway.

The last option is more expensive than the RE11's are, and that's the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08s which in 295/30/18 trim are $329 each, which IS A6 territory for tires. They are also 180 treadwear.
