I looked at the FS Wide Oval AS Indy 500 and the regular Wide Oval Indy 500 earlier this year when I bought new AP1 tires. I'm wondering if this is the tire (not the AS but the more UHP-oriented tire) you're talking about above, or if it's actually a different tire. If so, I don't see how this could be an update to the RE760 when the tread looks completely different altogether. Same maker, Bridgestone/Firestone, yes, but I see no family resemblance to the RE760.

Cool. Looks like a great tire!

It indeed sounds nice. Tirerack's video was interesting. They stated it is even stiffer, more firm and lazer'like than the Comp2's and out of the whole test group (which is a good thing for S2k's). So at least we can be sure it won't be "squishy" like the DW's.
