I'm going to be fitting some of these shortly to my track wheels. Have read great reviews about them.

General feedback is they are very nearly as good as the 888's just MUCH cheaper.

By reading the reviews they seem a good tyre, just seem to wear quick on side walls, but for the money mmmm!

Love to know the wear rate on these?
Will they last longer than 888s etc or ad08s, is it worth buying the pricier ones for the longer lasting compound

I ordered a set of 215-45-17 888's yesterday from Camskill , had the RSR's on my list but couldn't find any feedback on them so it would be good to hear back what you think of them

+1 aswell.
Read that the sidewalls are too soft, but apart from that seems good.
I would rather spend more if I know I'm gonna get mi monies worth.

I raced on these last season in the subaru cup class of the Nippon challenge. A very difficult tyre to set up for, very prone to inconsistent grip due to fluctuating tyre temps, could not get even tread contact patch / wear characteristic and if anything the sidewall just didn't work with the tyre and wheel, more fought against it. Some laps fine then would suddenly loose all grip throwing me off. 888 are easier to work with but for track the silverstone ftz rr knocks spots off both.
