There are Hankook RS4s, and then there are all other tires that cost more, need to be replaced more often, and are slightly faster. Best bang for the buck tire, I'm on my fifth set.
I use Hankook RS4s because endurance 200TW tires are cost effective. I can run them on my VN for at least an entire season and then some. It's gotten a bit chilly and there so the grip in colder weather is lacking if you're pushing it.
RS4 are a great all around track day tire. They wear fantastic, don't get really greasy and are predictable.
I find the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo just as grippy as the PS4S but much cheaper. However, the ride quality suffers.
I run a Maxxis Aggressor on the back of my bike and I love it. A DHF up front has loads of grip but the Aggressor has similar side lugs (a little smaller but not much) so the vine still turns well. At the same time, it has smaller center lugs and having swapped a DHR for it, I can certainly tell it rolls better.
My 2.3s were 55mm on some wide 1980s rims. I'll remount them on different rims soon and can measure then
My DTH 2.15 looks like about 2" exactly
I have about 45,000 miles on a set of the Hankook DynaPro HT.
I like them a lot.
I feel that the Kinergy GT tires are mediocre at best for most conditions. Had them on our 2017 and they still had at least 4-5 32nds of tread when we turned in the lease at 38,000 miles, but at least 10k of those miles were with snow tires. I think 35-40k would be the max upper range and probably hitting the wear bars by then.
The GTI comes stock with some pretty bad all seasons (225/40R-18 Hankook Ventos S1 Noble 2). That has got to be one of the most mind boggling decisions because if you’re going for a GTI, you’re probably looking for something “sporty” so why have garbage tires as standard?
