Hankook RS2's as an everyday tyre

[Darren S]

There seems to be alot of stock here in Sydney

Fancy shipping over a few sets, m8?! They are like gold-dust over here!

No worries. . . but then after freight charges will probably cost you more PE2's

Hi Inferno and other hankook users.
I'm very tempted in ourchasing these for my 182 cup. They are $110AUD (54 pounds)
How are the tyres holding up. What sort of miles have you got out of them on road and track.
cheers

They're doing well! I think they're great to be honest! Give me a couple of days, I'll try to work out how many miles I've put on them as I didn't make a note of the mileage when they were fitted. I'll compare the tread depth to the rears that were fitted at the same time.

Thanks inferno that would be much appreciated. I purchased the car with bridgestone adrenaline re001 in feb this year with not much meat on them. I have yet to drive a 182 cup with PE2's. The is a massive difference in price. $300AUD odd compared to $110 for the RS2's

Cheers

I just found out that the Hankook RS-2 date of manufacture here in Sydney are March 2005! That sounds like very old tyres.

What is the shelf life of a tyre supposed to be?

Cheers

Don't worry about the age as anything upto 10yrs is within guide lines.
The modern rubbers are not like the old ones

Digging this one up.

So how have these got on? How many miles you covered and how have you found them in the wet?

Cheers

I did 5,000 miles on road & 2 trackdays. Donington national & the GP.
Tyres were fine.
Only had one moment on wet roads but that was caused by a diesel spill.


Ask inferno as he's had his longer, my car was sold 2 months ago. The new owner thought it handled like it was on rails compared to others he had tried

I bought another set for the BMW and they've so far done 6k in 10 weeks without problem. I do have to slow down a bit when it rains hard on the m/ways though as they struggle. Dry day though. Epic. Love them. Pity they are becoming harder to get hold of and the 245/40/17's I need for the back are b******s to get hold of!!

 

[MarkCup]

6k in 10 weeks? WTF have you been doing Richardson? Is Weeman really that good?

 

[jon_r]

Without doubt!

 

[W111ALG]

I had them on my Cup before and had absolutely no problems with them. Lasted the same amount of mileage I had previously done with Toyos.

 

[Faboka]

Cheers for the updates. In a possition where I need to but a new set. Do love the pe2's but these are cheaper. Hmm what to do.

 

[PBCup]
