Questions on Hankook R-s3
Luke,
See the attached information from Hankook on these tires.
1. Tirerack does not list any of the standard load tires. Do you have them available? In particular 275/35-18.
2. The XL rated 265/35-18 has a load rating of 1609lbs and the non-XL 275/35-18 has a rating of 1521lbs. Besides the ratings, is there any real construction differences?
3. Have you been getting any good comparison info on these tires?
Thanks,
Jon

depends on the weather
In order to achieve the higher load capacity there are differences in the internal structure and belt package of the two tires. There are not many comparisons out yet as the tire is new to North America. We should see some more info and comparisons in the spring
