Hmmm i have heard the opposite were as the RS-3's get greasy really quickly and star specs not so much. I just picked up a set of star specs hopefully i like them! ive been on shit tires the last 3 years after my stockers died 
Mileage?
Those of you running Star Specs...how much life are you getting out of them before they are dead? Per Tire Rack they are in a whole other CATEGORY from the Pilot SS so I'm starting to wonder which is better. Can't find any more info on the Tire Rack performance categories.
Apparently the stock Advans are in the same category as my old favorite the KDW 2s, and rated lower lol.
SS - higher treadwear, more expensive, great reviews
Star Specs - lower tread wear, cheaper, great reviews, higher performance category?
Don't care about road noise or comfort at all, price doesn't bother me as long as it's worth it. Care about performance and how long they last. Basically once I find replacement tires for sale on Tire Rack I'm buying them so I just need to figure out what I want.
Edit: Did find a brief definition of the categories, according to them the Max Perf Summer is the highest one, with the Pilot SS being #1. The Star Specs are near the top in the next category down and about $200 cheaper for a set of 4. Guess I'll stick to the SS.
Would love to find someone who has used all 3 (Pilot, Star Specs, stockers)....

Maybe it was the opposite as i just typed in star specs greasy and they all say the do get greasy after a couple laps which is not what i wanted to hearI've never heard of greasy issues with RS-3s and I haven't ever experienced it at auto x or seen anyone else experience it. I do know that the NT05's get greasy after a while.
