HANKOOK RS-2

[Kanr]

good stuff,bro!!

[Robertoon]

if too expensive, you should go for Hankook Ventus Sport at a lower price...This tyre is being choosen a better choice then F1 GSD3 germany from Germany expat...

HANKOOK have so many choice to choose from..13models it sure ahve a good tyre with your price budget and not compromised performance too much,,,

Thks for the review....

 

but the price for 15 inch for Rs2 is the same as AD07. i rahter go for AD07

[Saabretooth]

I am on 17s so not so sure about the price for AD07s.

 

Robert, when the german expert said that the ventus sport is better than German F1s, in which aspect? If it is dry grip, I will probably agree cause F1s aren't well known for their dry grip, but I would be very surprised if its based on wet grip.

 

updated, almost 1000km on the RS2s. I've gotten used to the noise now that I don't really notice it. Dry grip is awesome. MIGHT even be better than AD07s but I can't confirm. Its all in the steering and buttfeel. Tread looks good and holding well.

 

Wet conditions through puddles is pretty good. No slipping/aquaplaning feel. In fact, other than noise, I can't really feel that there is any puddle there, only slight resistance causing car to very mildly slow down. With F1s, its as if the water isn't there at all, just cuts right through as if on dry land.

Hmm .. ..... you really temp me when you said RS2 might be even better grip than AD07 on dry. Last 2 days I was rushing for time and made a normal 90 degrees turn at ard 70km/hr on my F1 and the rear just gave out some screeching sound and push my car out of lane. All the while was quite confident of this F1 but since that turn no longer in it.

RS2 is ZR rated....AD07 only VR rated.... for 15inches...RS2 have higher load index than AD07, which many continetal driver are looking for....

[Robertoon]

I will keep you posted hows the wet grip compare to F1. We will be testing it out within the month when wet condition is there....

I just change to R-S2 too. For 15", about the same price as my ex-Preceda, R-S2 is vastly superior both in dry and wet. Not sure about the price of AD07 though.

[Saabretooth]

The F1s are only above average for dry performance. then again, it also depends how fast you do that 90 degree turn. 70kmh is good for drifting. and I suppose thats what you did. but seriousl 90 degree? I don't think that they even do that speed in the movies...

 

I doubt the RS2/AD07 is going to stick you to the ground either.

 

Just my observation though.

[Saabretooth]

Robert, I am experiencing a bit of thud like sound with the RS2s at low speeds. at high speeds its too noisy overall to tell. I hope that I am not paranoid or anything, but I don't experience that with F1s even though they are noisy and I have had a few E-brake situations with them. I have done about 1000km already.

 

Thanks

any idea how much is cost?

AD07 comw in 195/55/15R now....does RS2 have this size?

[Robertoon]

Noise is evitable for this tyre...But thud noise i am not sure...maybe you can come to Toh Guan Road east on sat/sun so we can check for you....??

[Robertoon]
