Message	i bought these hoping they were going to be a good sticky tire... the first autocross run i took on them, they were great... but because of the heat they endured, once they heat cycled, they became crappy tire putting me 6 seconds behind my buddy (when i was on my fuzions and potenza 750 we were fighting for tenth to hundredths of a second... and at the drag strip, trying to feather my launches like i used to on the other tires, the RS2's would break loose and not even begin to get any traction until maybe the top of 2nd while pedaling the gas just to get the car to move forward... so now i just use them to drift on... they were great for a week, but once they heat up and cool down... they are not even worth making a tire swing out of (current swing is a fuzion z rated swing...)
