Would greatly appreciate if you guys would report back here after a couple of months as I will need new tires within the next 6 months and was thinking about these or MPSS...only prob with the MPSS is I have to go 295/315...not a bad combo and I know it works on the ZL1 but would like to have a stock size option. I hope these work out for you guys!!!

I will definitely keep you posted. With new tires, I have found that my impressions can change over time. Right now, you can feel how grippy the Hankooks are compared to how the GYs were day to day. I don't track my car though. I have been told that the GY is a good tire for the track.

The ride feels a touch harder than the Sottos have been, but that's apples to oranges. In the warmer temps, the Sottos turned the ride of my ZL1 into a Cadillac Brougham it was riding so smoothly around town. In cooler temps, I never noticed the Sottos at all other than that they didn't really slip.

It's been 45-60F over the last two days. Rainy on Friday, clear since then and I haven't felt the grip loosen up at all, wet or dry. Had a chance to run it some yesterday out in the middle of nowhere and I didn't feel like I had to hold back at all. We will have a couple of warm days here and then return to 60High/40Low, so we'll see how it does during the Toledo "Sprinter"(Spring+Winter).

Take care.

Will do, mostly use my car on the track

ZL1-Camaro · 05-25-2016, 02:17 AM

So How do You like them?

BacktoBack · 05-25-2016, 10:41 AM

I absolutely love mine and have had no issues whatsoever. We dipped back down into the 40s/50s over the last month and just in the last week ago hit the Summer weather. No issues in the cold or rain, and I have run them in every kind of weather we have had since my ZL1 is my DD. I will swap them out in October though because Winter Weather is a whole different animal.

So far, so good!

I wish I could say, really wish I could say, meaning I haven't been in my car in over a month!!
I will be in it hard the couple of weeks though.
Sorry.

BacktoBack · 08-01-2016, 09:33 PM

Nothing new to report. Still love the tires, and they love the hot asphalt we have been working with over the last couple of months. In the rain, I usually am not pushing it, but I have had no concerns whatsoever.

E. Bryant · 08-02-2016, 08:41 AM

I've been running RS-3s as my track tire, and am quite impressed - they've done well in 40F and rain, they maintain their composure reasonably well with on-track temps around 100F, and the wear is quite good as well. I wouldn't say that they stand out in any particular aspect, but rather they exhibit good all-around performance.

ZL1-Camaro · 08-28-2016, 12:31 AM

Hankook's are the cat's ass and stick better than the Mickey ss and last way longer.

Bosse'sBoss · 10-08-2016, 06:04 AM

I'm surprised that we don't hear much about this high performance tire that comes on our tire sizes 285's & 305's. For example I will like to know how do they perform in the presence of water at 30's F weather?

Todd in Vancouver · 11-06-2016, 11:16 PM

Got them on my Z and was impressed on how well they grab at the track. At the limit I don't like them as much as my BFG Rivals but they are close. Better then the GY and have been decent on the street.

I don't know about 30F and wet, but I've spent a couple days on the track with them in the low 40s and standing water, and they didn't suck.
