Final Thoughts: Coming from a street tire, dry grip is mind-blowing. At first it feels like you can make any corner no matter what you do. On the limit feel is best described as being on a pool of molten rubber. Relatively forgiving to slides and corrections, but at much higher speeds than a street tire. Traction on damp surfaces is good, but not suitable for standing water.

Final Thoughts: Brilliant. Compared to other R-Comps and DOT track day tires, it is a little less forgiving since it does not offer loads of feedback (like 100 treadwear R-Comps like the Toyo RA-1 and 200 treadwear streets like the Kumho XS) but still lets you know through seat and steering feedback what it's doing and what it likes.
