Tires Hankook or NITTO
Rs4s are the super long (ive done 24hrs on a set) lasting, heatcyle to death with almost all its tread left tyre of choice... But conti ecf last just as long and run at least 1.5s faster per lap (@ wgi).
I do endurance racing as well and the sponsored tire is the Hankook Ventus RS-4. They are a great 200TW tire for traction and durability. If you abuse it they won’t last. They are directionally treaded, but if you run in the dry it won’t matter which direction you run them, so rotating doesn’t have to be an issue. Similar to the AR-1, good lifespan for the performance at the grip levels when compared to the competition.
Kankook RS4, Khumo V730, Conti ECF, Falken RT660+ are tires I would consider on long lasting side of the performance category. I'm not sure they even make the RS4 now but there should be lots of old stock. Those tend to last so long you end up heat cycling them before burning up the rubber.
Ca alternative, recomand Hankook. Eu am de vara cu clasa A la aderență pe drum umed si 69DB ca zgomot. Sincer, își merită toți banii.
Rs4 is the answer I've ran them on the track at 30° in freezing rain and snow and I didn't die
I’ve run RS4s for the last 3 years. First set lasted 2 years, about 14 track days and 10K miles total between street driving (April to October) and track miles. They saw rain both on track and street without issue. They would have lasted longer but I picked up a puncture on one of them. It’s not a fast tire but it lasts and is very flexible. I’ve driven them in high 30 to low 40 degree weather with no drama.
RS4s are pretty good for dual duty. Seem to last forever.
I bought a pair of HK Ventus Concept 2 for the front of my 2018 Camry over the summer. I’ve been buying this tire in my other beater car & they've held up okay.
Don’t get Trail Grapplers for the road. Loud AF and bumpy.
I had nothing but problems with Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Currently have Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs and I love em.
