Hankook R-S4

[lcoleman]

Early users are saying they grip almost as well as RE71R and Rival S 1.5, but last quite a bit longer. That bodes well, I suspect these tires will be a real winner.

Still over here waiting on someone to post a 15x9 or 15x10 that doesn't require a massive spacer to fit.

I have a set in 225/45/17 that I'll be lapping with this summer.

I've also changed platforms though, so may be hard to tell how the tire feels given it's a new car altogether...

Any e30 reviews of these yet??

I wish they would make them in 225/45/16 :(

Agreed. I'd keep my BBS RKs if they did.

Going to have to grab a set for the slick top when I get new wheels in a month or two

Might have to give these a try. Running DOT-Rs is fun but the noise and harshness is pretty grating after a while. I like the 225/45, should fit nicely on my 15x7.5's.

That's the reason I haven't gone with RE-71Rs. Unless you are a hardcore autocrosser running street class I think there are more well rounded tires. I like that I can drive my RS-3s in the rain, street driving, autocross and track and it handles it all fairly well and does pretty decent with wear.

Yeah I think that's the question on everyone's minds. I think the RE-71R will be really hard to beat grip-wise. The RE-71R falls off quicker and wear faster than other 200TW tires except maybe Rival S tires, but when you have grip, they are awesome.

I run R-S3s on my Cayman S and LOVE them. Only negative is that they ride super rough before they warm up but that's not a big deal. Wonder if the R-S4 will outperform the RE-71R?

10" rims should be faster for the 245's but here's a good thread to read through from some people who know a lot more than me about tires and rim sizes:

Any benefit to running 245/40's vs 225/45's on a 15x8?

I want to run them on 15x9 Jongblod's!

Hm, I have a set of enkei compe wheels with these tires. was thinking of selling them, good to know!

[BlackbirdM3]

If the RS3 was any indication, fantastic. My RS3s were 100 times better in the rain than my current "all weather" tires are anywhere.

I'm pretty psyched that they've finally made a new R-S series tire!

I wonder how those will be in the wet, given that there doesn't seem to be much void space on the outer third of the tire. I mean not that RE-71s are great for void space, but they're actually pretty decent at clearing water.
