I'm thinking about some Hankook Z212's 205/50/15's for my holeys, I'd like to do a little better in the local H-Stock rumbles. Has anyone tried these, and what kind of results have you had? Better or worse than Falkens? Any comments appreciated.

 

Never tried the Falkens. But i am currently using them for Autox. With them being on the 5.5 wide rim to me they have a little to much side to side movement. But time wise im normally about .2-1 second off the guys on R-compounds so there good enough for me since im doing it for fun. Also like running a Normal harder Street tire in the back which is allowing the car to rotate, but hey thats just me.

 

I was trying to decide between these two also. A local autocrosser ran the Hankooks and the new Falkens back to back on the same car at an event and said the Falkens felt better. They resulted in better times too. I am not sure what size he ran. I got the Falkens.

 

I guess I'll be conservative and get the Falken RT615's, that seems to be the current consensus. I still don't see many Hankooks around, and the Falkens are only $3 a tire more. Most seem to run 205/50-15's. We'll see what happens, anything would be better than the street tires I'm skating around on now.

 

How did the Falkens work out for you. I loved them on my Subaru, should be even better on a light car like the Cooper.
