Sunny day out so I decided to take my tires to get them mounted.
Packed up and heading out...
The ride feels great compared to the old R-S3's. Also, I can turn full-lock and it's SMOOTH (people with 225/45 R-S3's know what I'm talking about)

Looks great. I was a little nervous about 225's on an 8" wheel but they really look great.
...Could you expound on the full-lock smoothness? I definitely noticed some, uh, hopping-type motion with full lock on my 15X9 + 225/45 RS3's. I always thought it was a product of an aggressive alignment. On Rivals that would go away?
How can that be?

Thanks Jeff! You'll love the tires.
Don't think I'll get TSI's because I've read that they screw up the cooling. If it didn't actually hurt the performance, I'd get the Jet Stream ones with the circle lights. Here's what I pulled up when I did a quick search on TSI opinions via hornetball:

Functionally, they hurt cooling because they equalize the pressure around your main heat exchangers. The object should be to seal around your intercooler, radiator, etc. so that no air can get around them without going through them. TSI's are a direct air path around the heat exchangers.
The only real purpose for a TSI would be to support a cold air intake. To do this, you need to build a box around your intake for the TSI to feed.
Other than that . . . RICE!!!!!

Edit: yeah, I think Jeff pretty much covered it.

since I'm making an air box for the air intake I'll probably only do it to the passenger side TSI.

Did you have hopping on your previous Rivals then? But they were 205's right? I wonder if it might also have something to do with the fact that you now have considerably more sidewall flexibility due to the 225's on an 8" wheel.

Yes, I was asking you. I thought your previous RS3's were 205's and you went up to 225's when you got the Rivals. But if your previous RS3's were 225's and you had hops, and now you don't...
Very nice
