I use these in the front of my drift car and they did exactly what I told them too not pushing once even with heavy left foot braking from sweepers into tight corners.

Cornering grip drops off before reaching wear bar on tread.
Inexpensive grippy tires. They run a little wide compared to other tires of the same dimensions. Biggest downside is the noise, sounds like a jet engine talking off after 40-50 mph. If you frequently have passengers, save their ears. Doesn't bother me too much, but enough that I would spend extra to get something a little more daily drivable as far as noise is concerned.
This is my first "high-performance tire", and I like it a lot, except for the tire noise on street ride. Good performance, reasonable-to-good looking (subjective), and affordable. Depending on purpose, I would highly recommend this tire, or strongly discourage for some use (date cars).
Super grip. Also very loud, if you think that's a bad thing.
Great tires great service
Extreme grip during warm weather; exceptional grip even in the wet while cold as well. These tires made my new to me rims and car a lot more fun! Main issue is the road noise, which is pretty bad since there is no center rib in the tread design but damn does the tread design look badass; it is patterned after flames going out from the middle (where a rib would have been, is present in other variations of the RS series) which help to dissipate water from the contact patch, and gives these tires exceptional handling in wet conditions. These tires are really produced to be used on an autocross track, however if you can stand the loud road noise then these are a very competent set of shoes that can bring out new life from even the most boring cars, like my 5-speed manual 2005 Accord.
I bought these because I wanted some 200 treadwear tires for the track and I heard these perform well at a good price. That is true. My only real problem was I was trying to put 18" tires on a car, to meet specs for a certain racing class which was 275 width and 18" wheels. But this size is about 2" shorter than a stock tire, so it significantly changed my overall gearing. It would be nice to get a tire in an 18" by 275 width that is taller, similar to my factory 245/45R20's. Other than that, good tire, good value, performed well at Arizona Motorsports park on a heavy Dodge Challenger. I'd say it would be awesome on a lighter car that was set up for this diameter.
