Price/longevity/grip is very good on the Hankook R-S3, for HPDE they are very good and are a blast, and they are very talkative. For timetrials with a 200tw limit, the RE-71R, the new Rival S, and the ZII star spec are faster at the cost of more rapid wear and reduced lifespan. An extreme example of this is a friend that runs autocross with Hoosiers estimated his tire cost in 2016 at $22 per 60-90 second run. If you want to win time trials in 200tw it is Rival S or RE-71R.

For HPDE I am all Hankook, but that is probably only because I have never run the RE-71R

Another friend in a Cayman runs that tire, he like to slide around a lot, and he goes through 2-3 sets in the time it takes me to run through one set of R-S3.
