hankook rs2(z212), anyone used?

Postby sweep77 » Wed May 28, 2008 7:24 pm

anyone tried these yet? i'm tossing up between these, falken rt615 which are hard to get now, and some adrenalines. they'll be used for street and track. price wise adrenalines have it won hands down at about $140/tyre. i've seen the falkens for about 820/4 and rs2's are $215/tyre. thoughts? i haven't heard the hankooks mentioned at all yet so thought i'd ask. tyre size will be 195/50/R15

Do a search on miata.net
Heaps of info on the RS2 vs RT615.
The Adrenalines are not in the same league.

FWIW: me, RS2s, $200 each @ 195/50-15 = Phillip Island club lap record.

they sound like a good street tyre - they are obviously not a semi slick so are they nice and quiet or do they hum?

They are much quieter than a semi but still a bit noisy. Tolerable though.
