30% improved dry grip is way, way too good to be true. That's like going from all-seasons to r-compounds, and the RS-2 was already a good tire.

I look forward to seeing how they perform. I'm a little skeptical, though, if they need to mold flames into the tread to make sales.

Interesting. Now a third company with Super-Sticky tires. The R-S2 was a pretty good tire; especially for the price. 30% more grip on top of that will be impressive. The R-S3 will probably feel like an RE01-R.

I'm not sure about the orange flames though.

nice, the rs-2 was a pretty good tire.

sounds rad.... except the rice flames molded into the tire. I dont need that to tell me or others that their fast.
So it's an R comp tire?

It's a street tire. The thing I liked the most about the R-S2's was the amount of wet grip they had. Now that mine are wearing a little bit more, they are still performing in a safe mannor. I wonder how much the newfound dry grip will decrease the wet grip?
