PE2 Vs Rs2

[mr bognor]

Just out of intrest how much more dry road grip do the Hankook RS2 give over the PE2 . I have read that the RS2 are close to R888 levels of dry road grip ???

 

[Henry]

haven't used either but can't see RS2s being anywhere near R888s, mainly due to softness. R888/similar aren't a sensible road tyre..

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Ive heard Pe2's are better in the wet but Rs2's are better in the dry, im going to try rs2's after ive got through my paradas

 

[ForceIndia]

Rs2's are a far better all round tyre than pe2's. Used both on road and track.

 

[mr bognor]

Taking out wet roads how do you rate the RS2 over the PE2 in terms of dry road grip . A little better / lots better ???

Night & day.
(allow time for tyres to warm up )
Not got the outright 100% grip of R888's but are very playful on the limit.
Unlike R888's, grip, grip, grip, grip let go! usually very fast at the time of letting go
Also your car don't sound like a 1950's landrover on road.

I have to agree with this. PE2s are amazing for cornering, but lack in everything else.

 

[mr bognor]

Realy that much of a difference . I would have thought that the PE2 would be quite close to them ???????????

Using them on the race car. I'll let you know after Brands tomorrow. Wouldnt use them on the road tho, tread is almost non existant.

 

[Steve]

They look like a cut slick

 

[ripp]

any place they stock the rs-2 these days?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

How does the Hankook RS2 compare to the V12? Camskill seem to show about £20 difference (neither in stock though!)

 

[ripp]

v12 is a good all rounder at a good price (something like the PE2)
rs-2 is more track focused, a softer compound, stiffer sidewalls, orientated towards dry grip. increased wear rate obviously

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Thanks ripp, sounds like the v12 is probably suited to me more for now.

Shame nowhere has them in stock!

my rs2's are due for arrival tomoz (full set) from camskill

i ordered them yesterday

rs2's are awesome tyres for the money

£150 for a full set for the ph1

How? Sure i paid £200 for 4 x 195/50/15

Good tyres, better performance than general road tyres like pe2's/f1's etc but dont touch 888's in terms of grip.

They are definitely stickier than regular tyres though, the sound of having all sorts of shite stick to them and get thrown up into the arches is getting to 888 levels lol

my bad i thought we meant rainsport 2's lol
