Hankook RS4s, 225/45-17. Very happy with them so far, good grip and I can't beat on them hard enough to get them greasy. The warmer you get them the harder they hook.

Heard a lot about these, I’ll have to try them out. How long do they last ya? I’ve had Michelin PSS before and they were awesome but not worth the cost imo for how long they lasted me

I‘m on my first set, but after about five hours of lapping an maybe 2000 street miles they‘re just starting to look scuffed in.
@jay745 says he gets a lot of track time out of his and he’s pushing a lot more horsepower than I am.

For anyone curious about how much room there is between the caliper and the wheel running 18x8 ET35...
Front: about 1.75”
Rear: almost 2” even

Checking the telemetry data and I was hitting 120 MPH on the back straight.... gonna need a tune because otherwise I’m going to hit the speed limiter.
Yeah that’s how I’ll rationalize it......

100% stock suspension other than the APR rear sway bar
Hit some twisties yesterday with a mk7 member, pretty fun. Car rubbed just barely on the corner of this little front fender screw mounting area during hard high speed dips. I bet if I added a bit of negative camber in the front I’d be fine. I had to really push it to make it rub though

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
I just got back from a track day at Grattan. 6 hard 20 minute sessions playing with corvettes and the tires never got greasy. I absolutely love rs4's . Usually can get ~12-15 track days from a set. I'm using 235/45/17 though.

how'd all that go?

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
Really fun, a little slippery for the first two sessions because it rained hard the night before but it dried up pretty quick. Came within .03 of my best lap there (last year) but didn't break a new personal best.
It was my girlfriends sisters birthday, she came with and I took her out for a session. She's never been on a track before so that was cool
