This is also true of the Hankook RS3, whether old or new version. Even at temperatures down into the high to mid 30's, and dry pavement, the old RS3s still provided significantly more traction than a set of Blizzaks, which is what I run the "other" six months out of the year. Rain does not become a problem until you've got them worn to a pretty shallow tread depth, but that holds true for any tire.

At least they don't have to be shaved to not self-destruct during autocross or track time, that is what makes for a bad daily driver tire, IMO.
