Are good imo
Just got these for my S2000 and the grip in the dry is immense... just a bit down from grip on R888s, but without the road noise... plus the rs2's have low profiles which seem fairly stiff.
Not too expensive either at £125 each.
Anyone else used them before?

They're not a track tyre like R888s - but are a fairly close road tyre. I think they're pretty soft compound though, doubt they'll last.
I'd be tempted to take my s2000 out on track with them to see what they're like, but hope to have the integra ready for combe instead.

They look like a similar tread pattern to the old KU41s which were the best road tyres I tried on my VX220s. Camskill list the Hankooks under the track tyre section, £60 cheaper than R888s in a 225/45 R17 which is nice!

but then there are those federal jobbies listed as well which are over £100 cheaper!?! Anyone tried them?

^ Different to the Rs2 I think.
My mate's got some non-RS2 hankooks on his s2000 and says they're pants... really soft tyre walls.
I wouldn't normally go for Hankooks, but these RS2's are pretty immense.

Camskill had them for 53 each in 195.50.15 which is a bargain but they've took them off now and no where else seems to sell them

I swore by Eagle F1's, but since they stopped making the GSD3's, I started using the Hankook V12s and find them amazing!

Let's not confuse people by you pretending you have mates.

These ones Paul?

Someone with an Astra VXR had them on my trackday at Brands recently, and he said for the money he can't fault them, nearly half the price of R888's. I am looking for decent track tyres and these are looking promising.
