Not a bad tire at all. I would say close to Falken RT-615's.

I saw the sale, but the Direzza Star Spec is only a bit more and that's a top tire. Have a set coming in this week.

It's twice the price. I'd call that a little more then "a bit more"

my calculations say it's over 300 bucks more for a whole set of star specs vs these...hmm....


btw, i used star specs so i'm not hatin on the tire. just sayin it's not in the same class and shouldn't be compared with each other

My first set of new tires on the S were the RS2s they we're fine for the price but even to my newbie self back then the difference between it and say re01rs or z1 star specs were night and day. I'd say it's a good tire for a daily driver ok wear ok grip ok water evac (only at large amounts of tread life)
