I have a set of Hankook RS-2's, which sadly, are not on my car at the moment due to the distributor and wheel manufacturer never having anything in stock within the specs I need. These are max performance summer tires, one step below R-compound tires. The key word here is summer, which is why I found this review rather amusing, or rather, this part of the review.
If you're driving on max performance summer tires in 35-50 degree temps you're going to see a significant drop in grip, which is going to be especially pronounced in rain. Driving on RS-2's in Oregon at the end of October is a bad idea. Driving hard on them in the rain is a bad idea in such conditions, as they're optimzed for dry grip. There's a reason they tell you not to drive on summer tires in temps below 50 degrees.
