So it sounds like the RS4s are what I should be looking at in a few months? Been reading nothing but praise about them so far.

Yes, but I also agree with Lee above ^^.

The RS3 was, by consensus in our riding group, a big improvement over the previous factory supply Michelin PR4 or Metzeler Z08 in terms of longevity, wear characteristics, feel / handling, and all for a lower price. Then Dunlop improved on the R3 in making the R4 last longer than the R3. It was more of an evolutionary change as opposed to revolutionary. However, they also raised the price as well such that you can get the great RS3s for significantly cheaper.
