I have Hankook RS2 on my standard wheels, they are 225/45 16 and are far far better than the eagle F1s i had previously.

Hi R1DAN thanks for posting the photo's,how do you find them in the wet?
Could you do me a favour and post a picture with the tread square on.
Cheers!

They are fine in the wet, predictable when they do break away.
I dont use my car day to day, so not really sure how they wear compared to others.
I have only got a couple of pictures of them, not the best for seeing the tread though.

Thanks again for that R1DAN,I only wanted to see if they looked to "balooned" on the std size wheel as tyres do come up different,but I can see from you pictures they look the shizzle!

They do look good, and using 225/45 16 gives a bit more rim protection than 205/50 16.

I would expect them to be better than the eagle F1 GSD3's in the dry,but the GSD3's are known for being excellent wet tyres how do the RS2 compare in the wet?

Not as good as the gsd3's in the wet, but i was surprised the feel you get from them. Was expecting them to be poor in the wet.
In the dry there is no contest, get some heat in the RS2's and they grip(stick) like **** to a blanket!
It depends what you use your car for as to what would be the better tyre.

I think I can deal with less wet performance as you can only get so much traction with fwd in the wet anyway,so censored to a blanket in the dry sound's good to me!
