Default New Hankook RS-3 to replace the RS-2

Just ordered a set of RS-2 tires and they said they are discontinued, but a little searching revealed Hankook's new replacement tire, RS-3.

30% more dry drip...sounds like its going to be an awesome tire. The rs-2's where at the bottom of the top 5 autoxing tires, but I dont know about those flames...

They announced it months ago, but it's still not available.

And the R-S2 was falling behind the competition several years ago in this very competitive segment of the market.

Maybe it will be a great tire, as good as the Dunlop Star Spec, Bridgestone RE-11, and Kumho XS. We won't know until it's available and we can try it out. In the meantime, there are plenty of other really sticky tires on the market.
