We are doing a test next week with the Star spec, RE11, Advan Neova and the Kumho XS. I will post what I find in driving them.
Awesome!! Can't wait for the results.

I put about 12k miles on my old Star Specs, and have been on the XS's for a little bit.

They weren't toast, but they didn't have much tread left. After 7k miles on them, they started to get very annoying(following every imperfection in the roads)... So I just went with something new.

I really like these tires so far , the only thing that keeps bothering me is that the rears look smaller than my old re-01 . I got the stock set up 205/55/16, 225/50/16 and the side walls look huge like high profile tires If I remember right the s-02 side walls were lower with the 55/50 set up? Thou it does cover some of the gap between the wheel fender since I'm not lower.
interesting...do you have pics?

I was suprised how well the Star Specs do in the rain - definitely wasn't expecting much but I'd say they are better than RE-750s
