Default my R204's are here

it's the first tire I'd ever admit to downsizing my brakes for.. WOW... Hankook just took the rulebook and tore it up. these are WAY beyond the pirellies or michelines I've rallied on in the past. the tread "for a FIA rated 190" is wider then most 225 race tires and the sidewall is stronger then the BEST hoosier I've ever used. what a tire... I see why they did not sell at $250 each they can't build a tire like this for less!

downside... they are HEAVY.. 2 tires almost maxed out the UPS limit of 70lbs. but holy cow. these things are indestructible.

Hey older brother, seeing these tires last night took my breath away, they are some beauties. You got a killer deal!

I went with the Hard since even though I got a Killer deal, I like them to last forever. I'll have a set for sale at the rallycross April 14th. at the discount rate and since they are in stock NO SHIPPING..
