HANKOOK RS-2

[Abba]

anyone ever used both FALKEN RT615 and HANKOOK RS2 before?

 

care to give me some suggestion on both tire?

 

i am stucked between this two choice.

 

tire profile will be 215/40R17.

 

i am fan of corners and grip is my priority.

 

 

R-S2 offers a betta balance in terms of dry, wet grip. 4 wide grooves for water dispersion, 3 straight ribs for straight line stability and direction changes

changed to 225/45/17 RS2 today. was using F1 (german) before this RS2 set. impressed with the sharp steering response, dry holding. F1 with its soft side wall, car is "leaning" when cornering. with RS2, car feel "flater" during corner and more confidence. can push 10-20km/h higher speed over F1 at corners (my guess-imation). yet to try in the wet. feel RS2 is noiser than F1. overall pretty satisfied with RS2.

Sorry to ask.....

 

I am intending to change all my tires end of this month.....215/45R17 Alfa 147........

anyone know where can i get the RS2....and how much? and what is other choice? performance & wet grip are the deciding factors.....

[Smith]

can contact Robertoon. the shop to go to is at toh guan. Hankook tires.

[Sunnyr76]

RS2 is recommended. value for $$$ handling, grip, braking, wet or dry.

 

in anyway, i gotten the wrong size (195/50/r15 hankook RS2 tireS), just changed yesterday, used for 50km, as good as new, need to swop for correct size, looking @ $390 (include install, wheel balancing & new tire pressure valve cap). only to be done @ pasir panjang hankook outlet. pls pm me asap. thanks!

What about Kumho Ecsta SPT vs Hankook RS-2?

Any bro can share the diff between Kumho Ecsta SPT & Hankook RS-2?

Both were Korea made and rated UHP

Ecsta SPT 15" @ $90 whereas RS-2 15" @ $120

Good feedback for Ecsta SPT

SPT is no match for R-S2's grip

[Voxy28]

interesting comparison of this tyre with F1. How about this tyre with the S1 EVO and V8RS?

 

Anyone knows the price of 225 40 18? I need a set soon.

[Garlic]

I read that there is a slight hammering noise at speeds below 80km/h with the RS2?

[Cyberet]

hehe, even the ad07 has that sound.

its a love hate tire for me

love the grip, hate the sound

Just done my tires changed at PPJ workshop with RS2....

 

 

All I can say is

[Robertoon]

Bro, Dont push too hard when tyre is cold...Warm it up and you will love it...

[Sgoz147]

Just change my brake pad today, so dare to speed a bit today along the aye.....the grip of RS2 is good. although I am still in the run in stage, but the grip is still good......

[Godfinger]

I have been on RS-2 since Feb 2007.

It is already 12K on the mileage now.

Notice a bit wear on the side profile.

Grip is still good but not as wonderful

during the first few Ks.

 

Was wondering do you encounter any premature

wear issue from customers so far.

Just a bit concern that the thread wear is

getting too fast.

[Robertoon]

hi bro...is your alignment alright? seems like either your alignment is out or you have open up yr camber....

[Godfinger]

Yes. Chamber open up.

Perhaps that is the cause for wear

on the side particularly.

[Abba]

Wear rate is considered good for this grip levels on R-S2. My flend's tyre (on WRX) lasted ~40k km, considering he goes up to KL wkly for work.

[Zulu4]

yup, wear rate's reasonable for a performance tire. was gonna go with rs2 again now that i've upsized my rims but was quoted a price that was higher than equivalent yoko ad07... pity.
