Hankook RS-3s are indeed very close to R-comp performance while lasting much longer and being reasonably good in summer rain. I regularly run both Hankook and Nitto NT-01 at the track and there is only about 1 second difference in lap times. The Nittos are good for about 2k miles while the kooks are good for 6-8k miles depending on driving style. As a street tire the kooks are phenomenal in the canyons and braking distances are much improved over my former PS2s.
There are other tires in this class including RE-11s and Dunlop Star Specs but so far I am completely sold on RS-3s. If you want massive grip and don't need a tire to last 20k miles, or regular use below 40F, one of these tires should be on your short list.
