Tires Hankook or Goodyear

Hankook Tires

Something I can personally recommend is the Hankook Ventus v12 Evo2. Great tire and around the same price as the firehawks. Going to perform a little better than the firehawk but not supposed to last as long. TireRack has the Hankooks listed as a "Max" summer tire with a life at ~20k miles(Firehawks tire life supposed to be around 30k). I've put just under 15k miles on them with 2 auto cross days and wouldn't be surprised if they lasted longer than 20k. Got them for $460 mounted and balanced, out the door.

Pros: great tire, good price
Cons: shorter tire life
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 24140 km

Ventus V12 EVO2 is the sleeper tire in this category. A few buddies run them, they are a lot like the PSS, in that they are a summer performance tire with consideration to tire life. But at an even lower cost.

Pros: summer performance tire
Cons: consideration to tire life

Goodyear Supercar 3 needs the most heat. The stickiest of the three. Good trackable street tire.

Pros: stickiest of the three
Cons: needs the most heat

I have RS3's on my S2000 and have for a while now. Fantastic dry grip when they're warmed up but then wet grip is abysmal...I actively avoid driving that car in the rain partially because of that.

Pros: fantastic dry grip
Cons: wet grip is abysmal
Vehicle: Honda S2000

In addition to Star Specs, Hankook RS3s are a good and cheap track tire. They withstand heat well.

Pros: good, cheap, withstand heat

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.

Pros: decent traction, noise control
Cons: not a bad tire overall
