I LOVE THESE TIRES.THEY LOOK AWSOME AND WIDER THAN THE SUMITOMO HTR II THEY REPLACED.
THEY ARE VERY QUITE AND HANDLES GREAT.

nobody wants to believe a good inexpensive tire exists. I was equally impressed.... and with the rebate it was like $65 or $70 a tire for me..... As this was my first experience with a 'summer tire' I wanted a reasonably priced one to make sure I could take the car for the occasional winter drive without sliding all over the place & without spending a boatload. I was very pleasantly surprised.

These tires get good reviews, even when compared to more expensive tires like Michelins.

I run the RS3 on my daily driver. I'll probably put them on the 964 too once I blow through these old Michelin PS2s (which are already torn to **** after several tail-happy autocross/time trial events).

Since I started collecting 964's & 993's , that's the only brand I have bought, if I have other brands in my garage is because they came with car when purchase

Thanks for the review! I might look in to buying either those or Yoko S drives for my 993 cup wheels.

I just installed these on my '94 C2 964... I only have 300 miles on them...they feel great! I also drove a '04 Boxter non S 5 speed 300 miles, in the mountains today, with the V12's...nice, quiet, and sticky! No complaints yet! My choice was not about price...I took a chance based on reviews here and else where...everyone was right!...great tire! And an $80.00 rebate!

Likewise on my 07 turbo. You could spend more but why?

Another 200 miles on the '04 Boxter today...killer tires! My 5 year old is loving it! Quiet and sticky! I pick up my 964 tomorrow...can't wait to feel the v12's on her! Seems like a lot of corvettes, Porsches, and bmw's are using these tires and loving them!

After reading all the reviews on Tire Rack I put HANKOOKs on my LR3 and could not be happier, they are a lot less $$, last a good bit longer and seem to out perform the tires we replaced.

Just having the cup1 7 and 8's refurbished and thinking of fitting Hankooks v12, why 225's when 205 is the standard on front 17 cup1's
Just though I would ask before I order...
