They're probably not bad when new. The real weakness in this sort of tire is how well it ages. I suspect the performance, smoothness, and quietness is going to drop off faster than more well developed performance tires.
That said, I believe they are a performance class below the Z1 and RSR and will probably never reach the same level of performance as these tires.

I bought some used wheels with those tires and 2 of the tires had split at the sidewall from a.blowout. I wasn't really sweating it because the wheels still came with 2 other decent Nexxen tires. Within 2 months I could see cracks appearing in the sidewall on those 2 tires.
Not sure if it was the previous owners neglect or what. But def stay away if they are going on the S2k.
