has anybody ran these yet on their S theirs very little reviews out yet but for the little ive found they seem to be the closest street tire to r comps with a 140 treadware rating. any info would be nice hoping to order some next week. jim hear anything good or bad about them? dont seem to hear much about hankook tires?

thanks guys nick

 

I know through back to back testing they were about 1 sec faster than the Kumho XS's. This was done on Guy Ankenys car a couple months ago. I didn't get a chance to drive on them but I know what I saw and they were fast and wore really well for being driven by 3 drivers on concrete.

 

I have them on my car, Great tires. I went from RE01R's to these and I am very happy with the way they feel. I cant to a compare them directly because I was running a staggered setup with the 01R's and I am running 255 square with the RS3's but I have ZERO complaints about them. I will deff order them again.

 

Nice good to hear physical reviews have you tracked or auto crossed with them how do they seem when agressively driving

 

I have autocrossed with them and ran the dragon, along with a lot of street driving. They are less sensitive to heat than any other tire I have run. Although I still end up having to spray them down with water at autocross when it is super hot outside and I am sharing the car with a second driver.

 

They are the best dry street tire available right now. They wear like iron and stick all the way down to the cords. However, they are not great in the rain. Even at full tread there is significant hydroplaning on the highway.

 

done deal ordering them this week thanks guys for the great info

 

Doesn't surprise me since I couldn't get any heat into my tires at auto-x. Track might be another story though.

 

The XS's by touch of finger feel softer than the RS-3s. That being said, I've heard that the XS's have had a new batch made this past April that supposedly is to be like a 710. Guy has a set of those tires that will be tested the 4th of July weekend....

 

Interesting
I have the older R-S2's on my car, and they have been good in the rain
And for sure, I will go to the R-S3 as soon as my 2's are used up
