2. cord before they heat cycle out (same as RA1s)
3. are very fickle regarding mounting position (you can read about this online, but you must mount them with the paint mark inboard)
4. are available in very few sizes
Thanks! This is good news. I like the Hankooks as cheaper and almost-as-good-as Kumhos but need a 225/50 15 (not 225/45). The RR's are mounted (correctly) and I'll give them a try in early September at TWS and report back. Glad to hear I they cord out before heat-cycles do them in.
