Default Looking for new AutoX tires for my C6

I have been running RE-11's for the last two seasons in the stock C6 sizes. Looking for something new but not sure about going the Hoosier route as I would need to get a car hauler since I am normally by myself. I am trying to stay in the SS class.
Thinking about he Hankook RS3's but I would have to go with a 275/35-19 rear size vice the stock 285.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

The RS3's are a very good tire. The slight difference in width is negligible.

You can always get a tire trailer. Not my cup of tea but its an option. Nothing is more cool than a Corvette towing a trailer with a set of R-comps on it.

These are comparable to the MSPC and come in the stock sizing

What don't you like about the RE-11's ? compared to other "street type equivalent tires"

I wouldn't say I dislike them. Lots of good things about them.
Basically wanting to try something different.
