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.
Hankooks handle snow and ice pretty well. But the compromise is they seem to be a very soft tire. I am lucky to get 32k of miles out of them. (They claim to be a 60k tire)
Like others have said, I thought they were subpar. In the first 6 months, I swapped them out for the Michelin PS4 All Seasons, worth every penny.
Your generation crv is lucky to get 30k out of a set of tires *WITH* proper alignment, awd, pressures and rotations at ~5k miles. Do not buy hankook tires
