Hankook R-S3: What's the next best Thing?
#21
I DD'ed RS3s last season and they lasted me 15k miles, like a 100 autox runs (one event I did 12 runs...) and an hour of HPDE. With 2.5+ degrees camber all around.
I wore them to cords. They probably DID heatcycle but I didn't care. Awful (dangerous, actually) in sub-50* weather. Fantastic in hot, hot hot weather. The hotter the better. They looooove heat.

+1 on the extra set of DD wheels
I DD some 15x7s with 205 S-drives and autox the 15x9s with the hankooks. They would heat circle WAY too quick if I DD'd them.
G-force Sports came in a 225/50/15 at one point in time. Their new compound, Comp. 2, don't come in my 205/50/15 size though :(

I run 600 treadwear Toyo minivan tires for the daily, Nitto 360 treadwear NeoGens on the green car for street rubber, and NT-01 on the track. the NeoGen is a pretty good tire. I can't comment on tire life because I drive around with 3* of camber in the fronts, lol. Those get flipped and mounted on the rear. There is a "continental divide" on my rear tires now with a point just off center in the rear.

Kinda forgot about this thread:
Think I made the right choice: 15x9's with 225/45 R-S3's. Haven't had the chance to really push them because I haven't rolled fenders yet and the front rubs, but what little I've seen thus far they're incredible!!
Going to follow the advice of others and eventually buy some 15x7's to daily drive a slightly cheaper tire.
Thanks for all the input guys!
