They were predictable, made some noise, but quieter than Falken's. They didn't drop off in grip throughout the weekend. The fastest lap of the weekend was set in the last hour of the race. They will likely be heat cycled out of grip before they wear out.

In cool rain they were a bit scary, but the car is also raw and not setup well for the rain (throttle response, rear diff, etc.)
Glad you like them! I'm used to the RS2 and RS3 but haven't had a chance to try them out. your review is definitely appealing!
