HANKOOK RS-2

[Rannrac]

Just changed mine on 4ht June.

 

225/45ZR17

 

Found it was very noisy when travel speed is below 80km, if its above 80km seems to be quieter. Is it normal?

[Robertoon]

its normal.....lower the speed the noise get bigger due to the sticking properties

[Dfx16]

RS-2 can last up to 40K?

Anyone here can share how much it lasted?

 

Thx!

[Robertoon]

It depends on how hard you drive and your camber set up too..

[Saabretooth]

Mine lasted about 35k with 5-6 trips up NSH, 3 x Melaka and 3 x KL. Almost tracked the car but didn't have chance. If I did, then it might last about 25k or so.

 

Camber set up was rather agressive also.

[Nohorserun]

you have size 205/55/15 for RS2?

[Robertoon]

only 205/50R15

[Djcoolmax]

can you pm if you have 215/55R17 for RS-2 and the price pls? thx!

[Abba]

that's very good wear rate for high perf tyre considering you did NSHW runs assuming going quite quickly and also with agressive camber.

[Saabretooth]

Yeap, 1 - 1.5 degree front and 2 degree rear. Got to check the alignment sheet to confirm. high speed.. err.. hehe

 

Melaka in just over an hour and KL in about 2:30-2:45h of course in the very early morning

Just asking if anyone knows. Would the silica sticking properties wear off the tyres faster? I just changed to K104. Very slick. I'm loving it. But now worry how long it will last me. My previous Kumho Ecsta only last me a year... Thanks

[Furrynadz]

lookin at the utqg (threadwear) of each tyre is the most accurate (but subjective) way

also depend on driving style and vehicle weight

[Robertoon]

K104 is very high mileage tyre....

[Redschoolbus]

Robert, when you say high mileage, what do you mean? The tyre can last more killometers or it would cause higher fuel consumption?

[Robertoon]

More Mileage... if you see Our K104 go on Sepang 50laps the wear n tear , you will be surprised

[Ericang69]

Just wonder, how is V8 compare to K104

 

which is more in term of comfort/noise and wat is both the pricing for 205/55/16

[Elt12]

can pm the price for 205/50/15

[Abba]

my opinion V8RS would be an all round saloon street tyre, good overall grip in wet & dry, quite & comfy.

 

K104 is more wet biased. good dry grip, great wet grip. If you are doing lots of HSHW runs for work, this is the tyre. Good wear rate and handles all weather
