Anyone running Hankook R-S3s in 265f and 285r?

My oem PS2s have given up the ghost after 24k miles (the rears have, the fronts are still pretty decent) and I'm thinking about switching to the Hankook R-S3 in a 265/35 18 front and 285/35 18 rear. The stagger is 0.6in, which is the same as stock, and the overall diameter is a bit shorter, which I don't really prefer, but they don't have better option and I like these tires and the price.

Has anyone run these on the stock 18s; they should fit just fine by all accounts that I can see, but if you have some first hand feedback it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I run the RS-2 on my track car (supra) and have been very happy with them. They also do pretty well in the rain, although the PS2 is a bit better. I don't have any experience with the RS-3 yet.

Sizing should be very close to the PS2 sizing. If you are asking if they will fit on your OEM wheels you should have no problems.

I have a set of all-season General UHP's in those exact sizes that I run in the late fall and early spring when it's too cold for the PS2's and but not quite snow-tire season either.

They're on 18x9.5" rims - square.

They work fine for what I use them for.

24K Miles on OEM PS2's Rears!

You may be the mileage champ. Do you do lots of highway miles?

Right now I'm at 27k miles on my original PS2s but the rears are pretty much done. I don't do too much highway miles because there aren't too many miles to travel on the highways when you live on an island.

Mostly commuting between Boston and NY so yes. I don't abuse the car or do burnouts or anything, so I think that has helped The rears are at the wear bars on the outer two channels and the fronts are about 1mm above the bars.

Appreciate the fitment feedback; doesn't look like anyone's run them on the stock wheels but I don't think I'll have an issue.

If Tire Rack carries the tires, they have data listed on each tire including nominal rim width and the rim width range that is acceptable for the specific tire.

Thanks, I saw that but I was specifically asking about fitment on the car; I know they'll fit on the wheels.
