Has anyone used the Hankook RS4s yet?
It's time for me to get some new tires for track days and at the moment I plan on getting the RS4s since they seem to have good grip and wear well. Haven't been able to find much info on them though. Anyone have experience with them?

I have them on my NC Miata (245/40-17), only 1 autox so far and no track time on them yet. they're useless for autox as they need a warmup lap, the first run is a throw away run, and even on the 2nd and 3rd run they're still not fully warmed up. at the end of the day I was able to do about 6-7 runs in a row and each run my times dropping.
so in my experience they make for a good track tire. Also talked to an s2k guy with these, he said they get stickier as they wear and they never overheated or got greasy on him, thats at socal tracks.
I realize its a little different for an Evo X being so much heavier, but I still think its the best 200tw track tire currently. Most tire manufactures go for autox performance in the 200tw catergory, seams like Hankook went for track performance with the RS4
