Ultimate Performance Dry Traction Street Tires

M.Bonanni

To choose the fastest street tire you need to look at time attack as that is really the only sport that puts street tires to the ultimate test. Most other series don't use street tires, but time attack has a street tire class specifically. Having been in the sport, particularly in the street class for years I can say that nothing out there right now can touch the Hankook RS3 as far as being able to run a fast lap time on a street tire goes. Many teams have tried other tires, tires they get sponsorships for, etc. and everyone keeps coming back to the RS3. The RS3 holds nearly every street tire class track record in time attack.

I don't have any perosnal experience with the RE11 but I do with the AD08 and while they are also a great street tire, they don't have the outright speed of the RS-3. The only benefit to the AD08 over the RS3 is that they are more consistent over a long run, but still not as fast overall. Plus they are a good bit more expensive. They would probably be the tire of choice in time attack though if the RS3 didn't exist.
