Any feedback on the RS4s? I've never tried them and I want something that warms up fast for canyon driving. I've had Federal 595 RSR, they never seemed to warm up on the street and they were comparable to Linglongs grip wise lmao never had a worse tire. Only thing they were good at was not disintegrating with track days (managed to destroy a set of Pilot Sport 4 tires in a single day), they seemed to take heat well, of course they lost all semblance of grip (whatever little they had) in 2 laps but at least they didnt spread like a carpet on the tarmac like the PS4 did lol.
RS4 are good as endurance tires and HPDE tires. Good response. Wears like iron so easier on the budget Takes a lap to get heat into them but they are consistent once warm. Can get it warm in the canyons too but doesn't warm up as quick as a top-tier autocross tire.
You're probably looking for something like the Falken RT660. High grip, minimal warmup time, short life. Think of it as the new RE71R.
