Hey guys just thought id put in a bit of input incase any1 was thinking of buying these.I was running a set of cheap **** basically and when cornering the car it was pushing the nose out and sliding over road lol. So once they were done i thought id try these out and what can i say difference is night and day love them, has changed the whole feel of the car didnt think tyres would make such a difference in a car but they really have.Would recommend them to as a fast road/occasional track day tyre.
 
these tires are getting good reviews on the integra forum
 
Yh my mate got them on this teg thats what made me try them on my jordan.Neiller i was talking to you at the junction 1 meet not long ago.
 
i have just got hankook v12 evo's and have to say they are a very grippy tyre in wet and dry, got them to try them out and i am impressed plus have heard nothing but good things about the rs2's
 
can you provide me with a link to a uk supplier of these tyres? I tried camskill and rare wheels but they don't have these in stock!
 
does any one know where i can get em???? iv checked camskill and they aeem to always to outta help...

cheers for the help
 
"neiler" on this forum got price at w`end for these tyres from a local
tyre dealer,its in the "north" thou so dont know about posting to the "south"
as its quite expensive as you know:nono:
pm him for details and you could always phone the dealer to see if he will
post :)
goodluck bud!
 
Are you sure they are good? I tried them and went back to the shop in a few days to be replaced with GOodyears RS sports. The RS2's were deadly in the wet, braking performance was poor and dry took ages to get into the heat range.

If you went from **** tyres to RS2's then sure it is night and day, but if you went from Dunlop Z1's, AD07's etc, they are not even comparable - well you must bear in mind the price difference though. Just my 2 cents.

i just order mine from local tyre dealer, and i find them really good i can throw it round corners an it just sticks to the road its great lol
 
Would be good to know just how these stack up against RE010's as the Bridgestones are as rare as rocking horse **** now:nono:

im seriously having to consider changing all 4 tyres now my fronts are worn out...:shocked:
 
Everybody rants on about Bridgestones & AD07, I have only sampled the latter and they are slightly better than the RS2, trouble is you cant get hold of these magical tyres and if you do find some the price is the major downside, for £50 a corner the RS2 is a good tyre, have to disagree on EK4 SIR comments on performance - sure if you want to drive fast as soon as you turn the key go for the 888, braking performance was poor?
Once again most people are looking for tyres for their daily car, most want value and performance, you cant get it, but the RS2 is a decent step in the right direction imo.
I run them in 205/50/15, on my second set.
Of course tyre size/profile is a major factor along with driving style :p
 
I checked about these with Camskill recently.

195/55/15 and 205/50/15 are out of stock for another 3-4 months i was told :(
 
Lol too many EK9 & DC2 drivers buying their value tyre.

Everyone has their own expectations and budget, i have been there, tried that and RS2's were just not my cup of tea.
I liked full race tyres like the 888's but they do not give me the endurance nor comfort level. Don;t get me wrong, RS2's are good for the price, but I personally would spend a little more for a decent street tyre to last most of it's tread and good all round performance. RS2's did not cut it for me in the wet though, may the compound was not right for my part of the world.

mines 195/50/15 but with way my car is sittin they work really well.for the money you couldnt go wrong.
 
The guys in Europe really seem to use this tire a lot. The Falken azenis RT615 must be hard to find over there, it's a slightly better tire than the RS2 and should be around the exact same price.
 
dino, ive wanted to try the azeni for about 2-3 years now but not available here in u.k, over the years ive even paid 3 seperate companies in u.s for set of them only to be refunded by all 3 with different reasons why they couldnt send them to me

if you know anyone willing to ship set to me for good price let me know (ill arrange shipping no problem)
