Tires Hankook or DUNLOP

My VW dealer gave me a good deal on Hankooks. They’re pretty good. No complaints here.

I ended up deciding on Hankook R-S4's. Seem like a very good, though not quite RE71r level, dry autocross tire, better in wet than dedicated dry tires, able to take the heat of a track day, livable as a daily, and supposedly wear like rocks, so I'm assuming they end up being cheaper in the long run than the federal rs-pro's, or most any other 200tw tire.

If track is becoming a priority, the grip and durability of the Hankook R-S4 us tough to beat. I just bought my second set. Ran 10 track days and 9 autocross events on a single set last year

I did 15k mi on a rear Dunlop RoadSmart II and 25k on the front.

My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.

Hankook iPikes are good!

I quit wasting my time with snow tires a decade ago. I use Hankook ALL WEATHER tires.

2 years ago, I got Dunlop Winter Sport 4Ds (205/55/16) for 443 shipped. 4Ds aren't the best winter tire out, but really I didn't need blizzaks.

I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.

They did ok on the track for a summer tire (240tw) but I think next season I'm going with something else. For the life of me I could not corner in these
