Hankook R-S3 vs Bridgestone RE-11

JMac88 · 08-23-2013, 06:15 PM

I did a search on this topic, but could not find anything. I currently run re-11's and I do like them, but I certainly do not get great mileage out of them (my own fault). So my thought process is if I am going to fly through tires anyways, I might as well get something more aggressive. Now my assumption is the r-s3 are stickier just based on tread rating. I also know that this is not a good way to compare. So I am looking for real life feed back. Do you have or ever had r-s3's? Did you like them, did you get them again? Positives and negatives. I need to get new tires, so help me make up my mind.

I searched on this forum and couldn't find any feedback on the RS3's at all.

When I was about to by my second set of tires I looked hard at the RS3's. All my research has pointed to them being stickier than the RE-11. I ended up getting a set of AD08's because the price of the RS3's were way more than the RE-11's and AD08's. I couldn't be happier with my choice right now I had RE-11's there a very good tire with the AD08's I get better traction than the RE-11's.

I have a set sitting in storage, I can tell you in a few months.....

Wow, ad08's cheaper than rs3's? Did you have a hookup? Do you still haha.

I can't wait that long, I may just have to be the guinea pig and try them out.

Ad08 have better feedback less tire sidewall flex. Rs3 has a ton more grip sloppier sidewall. Rs3 is a faster tire at the track by a large margin.

Also ad08 will last you longer street driving

I just put on a fresh set of Re-11's and they have a ton more grip than the stockers. No experience with RS3's, but I'm curious to see how the Dunlop zii's compare with all the others. I went with Re-11's because they are $280/tire for 275/30/19 at Costco.

I got my AD08's from Tirerack about 3-4 months ago ,for some reason they don't list the 305/30/19 there site size anymore. The RS3 in that same size cost $467 a tire when I purchased the AD08's they were $100 less than that.
