Tires Hankook or DUNLOP

I absolutely love the Hankook RS4's! They are fantastic at autocross, don't melt at the track and they go unphased from street driving!

Dunlop direzza zIII's good wear 9/10 traction never get greasy, great stiff feel and break away.

I can attest to how incredible the RS4s are. It’s great not having to give a shit about temp and just keep the pressures in check. Sure, not the fastest tire out there, but it’s simple to operate, predictable, and will last for a long time

I run Hankook RS4s on my dedicated track M3. I street drive mine to tracks, including one 120 miles away. I get about 20 track hours out of them, which equals about 18 track days. The downside is they don't work great when cold, and when they heat cycle out they turn into bricks.

Based on this description I would recommend Hankook RS4's they in the 2nd tier of performance, you'll be leaving maybe 1s per lap of performance over an A052 or an RE71R. But they last forever, are reasonably priced, feel good, won't kill you in the wet.

I'm gonna come out of left field here and recommend either the Falken Azenis FK510 or Hankook Ventus Evo 2. Both affordable (the Hankooks moreso than the Falkens), both grip great for spirited street use, both have respectable tread lives.

I'm speaking from experience with both.

Once the q4s are over like, 70 degrees, or basically u ride a few miles on the turns gently, they'll be warm enough and will stick like glue.

I'm running the OEM Hankook Optimo 426s on my Fiesta, and they're just about to the wear bars at 53K. They wore pretty well, I guess, decent traction and noise control, not a bad tire overall.

Bridgestone, Michelin or Pirelli. Cooper a decent mid brand. Stay away from Hankook.

I learned anything from this forum, it’s that the Hankook factory tires are simply the worst. I’m just a regular city driver so I honestly can’t tell the difference.
