Hankook RS2 on the 1A list?

At Cadwell I was impressed at how well my bargain-basement 'kooks worked in the cold and damp ... and so wondered which MSA list they were on, if any?
[I ended up not joining MSA this year, but will next year so that I can do JISC and maybe others]

Thanks Duncan, I guess they're not that common, so not listed. It's a track-biased carcass, with a bit more tread than an RE070 for example, and Graham the instructor commented that they gripped well last Saturday. They felt pretty good on the way home too, so I might be tempted to run them on the road for a while.

They look good aswell.
I might have to look into some of them - where did you get them?

At the price, and from what little I could find written, they were worth a try I thought. From the tread pattern I'd assume there's less grip than from a proper semi-slick trackday tyre, but I'm not sure how much less. Seem quite soft, even last Saturday grip was going off at the end of a longer session (20mins?).

they looked a perfect 'wet' tyre though.

Have you seen the Ventus Z209 anywhere?

If the prices are close to what they are doing those RS2's for them it looks like an interesting road legal tyre for (dry) track days 8)
