IMO these kill the PS2's and are even better than the advan Neovas.

I saw those tires and the test results look great. They just don't offer them in a 255/40 17 size. The fastest guys around here autocrossing with street tires are usually on Advan Neovas. It looks like the RE-01R could be a contender in S/S class.
