Not much of an experience with them then?
RS2's IMO are a great tyre. I've ran them on 2 different 306's and an MX5. I'd say dry grip is pretty bloody good - not dissimilar to the Goodyear Eagle F1 I had before, but without the 'snappy' breakaway on the limit. Wear rate, particularly on the shoulder of the tyre, is a problem because the sidewalls are so flimsy. I had this issue on the F1s also though - it's just a problem if you attack every corner on 3 wheels.
I had Toyo's on the MX5 before and they were crap. Poor feel, poor grip levels etc. The only good thing was the wear rate, I think they are a denser compound as they took forever to wear out. I replaced one axle prematurely because I was fed up with the lack of grip/feel and unpredictability.
