I know you're not supposed to do it but the damn tires burned off in no time flat! Even though they were a higher treadwear rating.

HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO2 - Currently on car. Was thinking of putting the HANKOOK VENTUS R-S3 (VERSION 2) on the rears and letting the fronts burn off.

Thoughts.......sound off.

 

I'm probably not the smartest person to bounce ideas off of, but I've run a mixed setup on the track and been fine. You just need to understand that the V12 EVO2 is a 320 treadwear while the RS3 is 200...meaning the RS3 has more grip.

 

Yeah I probably should have gone with RS3's all the way around when I put new shoes on the car. I just couldn't afford what I wanted at the time which was Falken Azenis RT615's. LOVE THEM and they lasted even with a 200ish treadwear.

Funniest thing is that I have run Bridgestone S-03's and they wore out faster than S-02's! Mostly because they slid more and thus chunked out tread vs. gripping.

Logic is solid!

 

Probably burn off the R-S3s the same time the fronts finally decide to give. Fronts seem to last forever compared to the rears. Could just be my pedal.

 

Ever thought of going square with a non-directional tire like the BFG Rival?

 

Me? NO way. RedCelica is doing that right now well at least square setup with I think RS3's. I don't need that much front grip.

 

"Don't need grip"


DOES NOT COMPUTE, DOES NOT COMPUTE

 

That's like saying, "I don't need that much horsepower."

Or

"I don't need that much money."

"No thanks honey, I don't need that much sex."

 

Square is awesome. It's the way the car was meant to be, but Honda put less tire up front to make it understeer.

 

The way I drive I usually get oversteer! So going square would be like putting donuts on the rear!
