Got my set last night and scrambled them onto some 15x10s. At Thunderhill today. Did a back to back with a sticker 245/40 rc1 for a benchmark. The RS4 feels faster by a solid margin. Hard to say how much exactly because there's too much wind and traffic today but I'd estimate about a second or so faster. Lots more lateral and exit grip in particular. No odd wear patterns. I won't put enough time on them to know whether they wear like a super200 but they are definitely in that ballpark as far as speed goes.

Fully expecting Super200 wear rates (aka nearly Hoosier wear rate and nearly same drop-off after 50% life). The future for those who want actual street tires isn't going to be in the 200tw category.
