So I went ahead and decided to find out what the hype was all about and I bought 4 "sticker-new" Hankook R-S3s in 215/45/17 to use for trackdays and autocrosses. These are a 140 Treadwear street tire. Not a DOT R-Compound. Average life expectancy is 12-17k miles with regular rotation and dependant on driver/dirving conditions. These are strictly a summer-tire. Not for use in winter conditions. (The lawyers would be proud of me... LOL) This review will focus primarily on the performance...
