Only had the tyres for about 2 months now but the difference can be felt instantly. These tyres are simply amazing, they make the tyres I previously had (Toyo T1-S) feel very average . The dry grip is fantastic, but in the wet they are untouchable. The tyres make the car hugely exploitable in the bends and perhaps offer more sheer grip than handling but still approach their limit with no fuss making it obvious when you are pushing too hard. All in all it feels like a new car, handles like its on rails, just wish they were available in more sizes but I suppose they will come in time. Would definitely buy again.

An excellent Fast road tyre especially in the dry, better than average in the wet.
Comparing the RS2 to previous tyres fitted to my car they are a much better option to the Bridgestone RE050 and Toyo Proxes T1S.
Provided better grip under all conditions on fast A roads and the Track.
A great value for money tyre that some may overlook at their cost.

Not saying this is a bad tyre... It's performance is kind of there from the word go, but does improve a little after warming up. I think these things are just not grippy enough for B road fun. Quite a bit of sidewall slew (I have to change these as the shoulders are totally screwed after some hard cornering), but then this does match the compound to produce a nice progressive loss of grip when cornering - but the performance simply isn't that great. Overall, a decent confortable tyre for everyday use, with good wear characteristics. If you push it hard, you shouldn't get into trouble as it has no nasty surprises - it doesn't let you get fast enough!
these were 88W P-zero asimetricos, datestamp 2005.
When new, these are superb in the dry, not nearly so good in the wet, but at least they are very progressive in the wet.
Once 5000 miles are reached, they definately lose their dry-road ability. They lasted approx 15k miles in total.
NB A friend had his wheels professionally refubished recently - when they put his half-worn Asimetricos back on (205/45/17s), the refurb company noted that the tyres were not running true, and span a wheel up on the balancing machine to show him how out of shape the tyres had become.
