From what I've heard about the RS2s they're gonna last maybe as long as Azenis Sports are lasting, so don't expect too much life out of them. Just make sure you're not buying these because of the trend people are falling into like the ES-100 trend...

I would reccomend them to anyone looking for all seaons, the tread wear is great too

+1 for the g-Force T/A KDW-1.
I had S03's on my Mini and 330CI and loved them but they're so damn expensive. I ended up replacing the S03's on the Mini with g-Force T/A KDW-1(way cheaper than s03's) and they were almost as sticky but wore better and did better in rain IMHO. The tread looks hot too!

Oh, I know they stick. I have them on my car in a 225/50/16 size right now, and I love to push them. I haven't even found the limits on these tires yet, though I don't have time either right now. Though, the squeak pretty early because I've made them squeak a lot, but have still felt complete control on these tires.
If you look, I have a few other posts about how great these are and with the treadware (which I calculated during summer so obviously more wear) was a bit under 30k miles. That vs the S-03, it only cost me $100 for each one and how much quieter it is, and because I used to work at a tire company and my boss gave me a 40k mile warranty makes it so much better than the S-03. IMHO these are the best daily drivers for a sports car.
