Hankook RS-4

I am getting into a slight pickle with trying to determine which route I should go. Should I wait another few weeks for the RS4's to come in, or go ahead and get the Rival S? My first autox of the year is early March and track days soon to follow, so I would like to start out fresh. The car does see street time as well, and is currently on stock warped wheels with shitty tires. I can autox this setup but do not feel comfortable putting it on the track just yet. My 6UL's are in the mail so I will have them soon enough. Any advice on which tire I should go with?

The RS3 is a proven tire with a good track record. First year out tires will be the least of yor worries. A friend of mine who had no track experience, put baller R compounds on for his first year. In the first 30 minutes of his first track day, he had some Really expensive tires with Really bad flat spots. Because learning to drive...
Thanks for the advice guys.

Don't want to be the 2nd or third winner. Only the last.
Any initial impressions?
How do they smell?
Does the tread pattern look cool?
Taste good?

Direct observation, controlled environment A/B data:
I walked out and dry humped the stack. Sonny said, "too late, I had firsties". So they tolerate sloppy second dry humping at least as well as Rival-S 1.5 225/45.
Anecdotally, durometer reading almost exactly the same as the tread on my new mountain bike shoes.

Final winner makes me think of those dystopian movies where everyone is trying to win a lottery to go to some promised land, but in reality when they win they just get killed and their bodies recycled for food or organs.
