Lots of the SCCA autox guys rave about them, so I suspect they are very good for Autox. It'll be interesting to see how they hold up on the track.

Street driving is much better with these than the S02's IMO

I still don't know if I trust the price. You usually get what you pay for...

They're so damn cheap!!!

Its an introductory price thats why theyre cheap right now. They want to get people to drive on them, get the word out an then they will jack the price up. Will see at the track for sure.

Wow that's a great price, I really want R's for next auto-x season but that price is tempting!

Aparently they're expensive on the other side of the planet.

Actually Hankook said they were going to keep them in the "reasonable" level of pricing.

They really want to compete with the new like of Falken tires, which are nearly the same.

I don't care what things cost for the most part, they were way too cheap to pass up and the grip is all there. I did the research before I bought, if the SCCA nationals guys are liking them then who am I to say its too cheap?

Trust me, I thought the last tire I'd put on would be a Hankook...

That's my thinking too.

Might need to reconsider...

Albert's boss uses 17" OEM S2000 rims with R's for his NSX.

Something to think about maybe...

Good bloody luck finding anything good to match those...

You could run Yok Neova's on the back..and you have less choice for the front.

Email Hankook and ask them if they are planning something for that size..I think the Falken ST-615 is going to come in that goofy size.
