I had these before the 595's, was happy with them in the wet and dry. I would def have them again.

i have a pair of these on just now, decent in wet and dry weather. i wouldnt say they are the best for track days, they dont have much turn in due to sidewall flex and when they get hot i find the go 'off' quite quick. if you are planning on doing alot of trackdays i would say spend a little more and go for the federal 595's or yoko ad08's but for everyday/spirited driving the hankooks are perfect.

I have these all round. I think they're okay, I'm not amazed with the wet grip though. I think I'll get F1 asymmetric next time.

As above really, just about worn through my set on the fronts. Didn't do wet track day in them but a couple of dry ones inc a VERY hot day at Mallory. I was chuffed with them for the price. You only need to look at the how fast track times to show they don't have a negative affect on times (my times sat me above and below people running Conti SC2's).

I did take some lumps out of mine on the kirbs but I suppose contis would have been the same (big tread blocks are going to chip off)

Exactly this... Funnily enough when we were queuing to go on the track for our sighting lap I was chatting to one of the MSV guys, he asked about how good the Federals are then pointed to one of the Continentals on another car and said "he'll struggle with those"

Angel I've got spa and the ring in April what would you go for????? Thanks Kevin

 

[Fernandez]

I'd go with either the 595's or the AD08's. Both are slightly more expensive than the V12's but performance wise they are in different league.

I've used the 595's over this winter period and to be fair they have stood up really well to the conditions.

Sh!tty time of year to be switching to a track based tyre though. Mr.F is right though they're head an shoulders above the others on track (judging by opinions/track times) If your willing to take the chance there won't be 6" of snow this week.

Angel have you driven spa ??????

Angel have you driven spa ??????

I had EVO V12s on my 172and I didn't like them for going round the ring. Excellent road tyre though

 

[nutnutwelshman]

Thanks Danny ill go for 595rsr

Thanks Danny ill go for 595rsr

I took a ph1 172 down to Dorset in torrential rain with some of those fitted, and I've never felt safer in wet conditions. That was a stripped out Spax coilovered car too, so potentially skitty. 595rsr are amazing

Danny how much for a remap thanks Kevin

ditto this, the 595rsr are amazing

I've used hankooks on wet & dry track days and thought they where great to be honest considering they are a good 50 - 60 cheaper than contis or decent track tyres. As said though, federals, yokos and especially r888s are in a different league on track.

 

[nutnutwelshman]

Stuieplk have you used 595rsr ????

Danny how much for a remap thanks Kevin
