Me and my girlfriend have both been running tubeless Maxxis folder tires on Easton Rims for five seasons and I never had any problems mounting them.
I've mounted and remounted a handful of EXO casing maxxis tires recently with almost no effort at all. Typically I don't even use a lever to mount them, only remove. They all seated on the first try with a hand pump too.
I've had to mount two different DHFs in the past couple of weeks and both times struggled to even get the tire onto the rim. Super tight to lever over the edge and had to be meticulously centered as low as possible on the opposite side just to have a chance. It seemed to take a lot more pressure than usual to get the bead to seat. I like the performance so far, and it is a go-to tire around here
Ventus V12 EVO2 is the sleeper tire in this category. A few buddies run them, they are a lot like the PSS, in that they are a summer performance tire with consideration to tire life. But at an even lower cost.
I have RS3's on my S2000 and have for a while now. Fantastic dry grip when they're warmed up but then wet grip is abysmal...I actively avoid driving that car in the rain partially because of that.
In addition to Star Specs, Hankook RS3s are a good and cheap track tire. They withstand heat well.
I just had a set of OEM Hankook Optimos last ~65000 miles. Replaced them with a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2's and all is good so far.
Only have used the Ventus V12 Evo/2 on my Boxster, have been pleased with them.
The Hankooks are great daily driver tires, but after running one autocross on them I was not happy with them for performance driving. I have them on my BMW.
Got some Hankook "100000 miles" H727 on the beater Honda. Within 3-4 years, or 50k miles later they're all shot. Tread is mostly gone. At the end I had a slow leak from cracks etc. The rubber ripped at the edges exposing the cord and leaks slowly, then rather quickly when it let go.
