Hankook RS-3

The flames are gay, but who cares if it's a good tyre.
I got XS's last month and have a trackday next month. I'm hopeful that they will be better than the Azenis.
Andy Hollis likes them, atleast for the track:

You guys are really being a bunch of **** right now, I mean comon who cares if they put little flames in them that will wear off after a week? Without the orange, you will barley be able to see the flames any way.
Point is they claim a 30% performance increase over the rs-2. They could put teletubby silhouettes in them and I wouldn't care...

What is a 30% performance increase? Pretty vague.

Priorities for me buying a tire.
1. Dry Performance
2. Cost
3. Wet performance
4. Durability
5. Comfort & Noise
A distant #6 is appearance. If the tire performs fantastic, for the right price it could have little rainbows blazened on the sidewalls of a purple carcass for all I care. The flames are stupid. I hate to think who they are made to appeal to but I won't stop me if it's a great tire.
We just need more 15" sizes available. With the increase in motorsports popularity I think we might see that.

It amazes me that so many tires made specifically for high performance come in such crappy sizes. 15" Direzzas, Ecsta XS, and Azenis in nothing bigger than a 205? Do they not see all these people interested buying 15x7,8,9 inch wheels? It seems like there is so much money to be made but they're just oblivious. It's not just miata guys either, I know tons of Honda/Acura guys that would be all over some decent 225+/45/15s.
