    tyre question on hankooks

    it is getting time to replace my kumho's and i am looking at a better tyre for the car, they were/are pretty good for the $, but scarry in the wet (any wet at all!!) what are your opinions on the hankook rs-2's for a street car/daily driver they say treadwear A 200, so it can't be that bad????. good tyre?? yes or no??
    btw, i have over 2 years on the kumho's and only really showing wear on the rears (camber)

    I got 14k miles out of mine, mostly highway driving, with 3.5 degrees of neg camber all around. They are fine in the wet. Very grippy!

    Only gripe is short tread life, but thats expected.

    I'm installing a set of bridgestone s03s this weekend, so well see how they compare.

        i've only had mine this season but they've been great - great dry grip, decent wet grip, awesome water-cutting (they shoot water out the sides like a winter/all-season). straight-line grip is not at all like a drag radial but it works.

        awesome tire for the money.

          Excellent tires, but I still prefer the Falken RT-615s. Falken isn't as generous with the sizes, though (no 225/45/16 or 225/50/15 yet).

              That sounds like a smoking deal. I'd buy them right now if I didn't have to deal with Canadian shipping costs and brokerage fees.

              Someone jump on this.
