I have not tried many different performance tires besides the rs-2. I really like them alot, im on my second set of front tires(225\50\16) and I have a 245 45 16 that I put on the rear. I have not done any serious track time with them, but i have gotten a trail of smoke coming off the rear and no signs of chunking or flying apart. Very consistant grip hot or cold, I guess you can say they have a wide temprature operating range. Maybe its the staggered tire setup but you can drive huge slip angles with out much worry for someone who kinda knows what they are doing; while maintaining some cushion before you start getting too much yaw and slowing down. They work awesome in the rain too. :bigthumbu
its so much fun driving the 225\245 setup... its just the right balence to get some front tire slip upon initiation while being able to maintain control mid-drift. :bigthumbu :bigthumbu :bigthumbu
