Got my set last night and scrambled them onto some 15x10s. At Thunderhill today. Did a back to back with a sticker 245/40 rc1 for a benchmark. The RS4 feels faster by a solid margin. Hard to say how much exactly because there's too much wind and traffic today but I'd estimate about a second or so faster. Lots more lateral and exit grip in particular. No odd wear patterns. I won't put enough time on them to know whether they wear like a super200 but they are definitely in that ballpark as far as speed goes.

The one time I'm disappointed to see a tire have lots of grip. 
Fingers still crossed for magic wear but if it's that sticky I'm having doubts.

Fully expecting Super200 wear rates (aka nearly Hoosier wear rate and nearly same drop-off after 50% life). The future for those who want actual street tires isn't going to be in the 200tw category.
