I like everything about them so far. Ride is dramatically better than the OEM fun flat. They hook up to redline in first gear without wheel spin. I plan on driving them in winter, so we will see how they are once warmed up. Car is base DD with JO shocks

Sounds good, how do they look on the car.Near 07002 or 07059 by any chance?

I have had a set for two summers, 12 track days (Mosport, Watkins Glen), 15,000 km's on the road (~9,500 miles). They should last another 3 track days and 5,000 km's. They are excellent tires. Very good grip in wet and dry, progressive break away on the track, and they take a lot of abuse. The shoulders are still in great shape. They are smoother on the road than the goodyears. Would buy another set.

Nothing to dislike.

The fast 102 is what I want next. How does it rin

I've had them on my car for about 1 month now, so not a lot of experience with them yet. Here are the things I've noticed:
1.) A little bit quieter than the worn Goodyears.
2.) Sharp road imperfections don't get transmitted into the car as much.
3.) The car doesn't tramline like it used to.
4.) Seem very sticky, but haven't had them on a road course or autocross yet.
So far, I really like them. Haven't had them in the rain yet and I don't know what will happen as the temps get cooler. I expect them to wear a little quicker than the Goodyears.

Was there a problem with sidewall blow out with this tire?

I've had on my set for a while now. Mainly DD + canyon driving + occasional auto-x.
My last set before this was Michelin PS2's

- Straight-line traction = RE-11 hands down
- Cornering traction = PS2 seemed to have the edge in canyon driving, even though it seemed to require more steering angle due to the tire's flex, but maybe that helps it grip better in the canyons.
- Steering sharpness = RE-11 with it's stiff sidewalls
- Lighter weight = PS2 felt lighter/easier when turning the steering wheel, but car would react a bit slower due to the flex?
- Appearance = RE-11 cause it's blockier look fills up the wheelwell better than the rounded/smaller look of the PS2
- Price = RE-11

Not sure what to try next, maybe those extreme versions of the Dunlops or the Kumhos, if they offer C6 stock sizes.
