hankook RS2s saved my ***!

Well it really could have been any good performance tire, but I happen to be running hankook RS2s yesterday when...

A friggin raised truck comes into my lane without signaling... he was about 3 inches away from my left fender and I reacted and swerved out of the way doing about 75. The tires didn't even complain and they reacted quickly to get me around this douche bag. I wonder what would have happened w/ RE-92s

I honked at his *** but he refused to look at me. The son of a ***** had his interior lights on, so he probably couldn't even see out of his windows when changing lanes.

Anyone that wants to skimp on tires... don't do it. Get good tires, it's one of the most important pieces of safety equipment on your car.

These will be my next tires.

I think it's funny you say skimp since they are so reasonably priced.

Heh... good point. Yeah they were pretty cheap considering how well they perform.

good to here that they saved your subie. i just recently switched to the RS2's and i absolutely love them. with the price considered they are definitely the best tire on the market right now.

niice, im either going to get S-03's or stick with my KDW2's. the kdw2's have long treadwear and they have been gripping reallly well

Aside from tires, driving an AWD car saved my *** on a few ocassions in situations that my old car wouldn't be able to do at all.
