New Aust owner - 308 QV GTS

Cruel, actually very good ( dry weather ) tires with positive reviews, for example;
"The second-most-affordable tire here, the Ventus R-S3 is an extreme-performance summer tire and delivered top-notch dry numbers to back that up.
No other tire got within two feet of its dry-stopping distance—a large gap considering that the spread from best to worst is less than seven feet. It also tied the Yoko Advan AD08 for best dry skidpad. On the dry autocross, Geswein found the R-S3 and the Michelin Pilot Super Sport to be similar, which is to say forgiving, capable, and consistent."

 

Sadly, most tyre tests are meaningless because they only test the tyre when new. After three years, how was it driving in the wet on your Hankooks? That's the biggest difference between the cheaper brands and the premium product is how they age.
