Exceptional Sport Performance Street Tire
What this tire is not, is an all season street tire. If, by chance, you find yourself having to ride in wet conditions, be very careful. There's not much in the way of tread on this tire and for a very good reason, this is not a rain time. However, in dry conditions, this tire is an amazing sport street tire.
There's virtually no contact patch distortion from the tread design. The sidewalls, while stiffer than a race type tire, are perfectly balanced between being soft enough to flex to most pavement irregularities but not too soft that you loose feedback from the tire. What little grip this tire gives up with being a harder rubber compound compared to a race type tire is made up, hands down, in durability. A word of caution, you need to warm up this tire before you throw it hard into the corners.
Speaking of corners and turning, the profile of this tire lends itself to quick steering responses. It other words, the tire won’t hesitate to tilt you into a corner as soon as you give it the go ahead. All in all, this tire is an exceptional sport performance street tire for the money.

Great street tires - stick like glue
These tires are great for aggressive canyon ridings. Very stable in the corners with flexibility to correct the line without biting the hands that feeds them. I have run Q2, Q3 and S21 in the past. These are the stickiest of all. I highly recommend them to aggressive canyon riders. Just give them little time to warm up and keep pressure on couple of PSI higher than your usual pressure as the side walls are soft. Expect somewhere around 4K from rear life, fronts will last 2 rears. And last but not least... they are very reasonable priced, you get Supercorsa SP V2 performance at almost half price. Definitely worth trying.

Street Tires, Not Track Tires
The RS10's were recommended to me by fellow riding buddies, fortnine's video and motorcycle shops for a while now. Everyone raved about these tires and race shops around my area told me this should be my next track day tire. This is the last time I listen! Right out of the packaging the RS10's are very tall, which makes for quick lean in and a huge contact patch when turning. Without warmers these tires will take half the session to become hot and when they do, the sidewalls get very soft and squishy, which is great for the streets and country roads of your local city; but for the track this is difficult to deal with. The back pushes out coming out of corners and the front is very unpredictable; you think the tire is going to stick but then you gradually feel the front tire starting to tuck. Like race slicks, the tires should get very sticky, but the RS10's just become soft. Braking zones were noticeably different; I found myself going into the corner and braking at my regular zones and needing to be harder on the brakes, which resulted in going way outside in the corner. I went from a lap time of 1:09-1:11 using Dunlop Q3's to 1:14-1:16 using the RS10's. During two days of tracking these tires I ended up ordering a different set of tires mid-way through the track day due to the lack of confidence I felt with these tires.

Great traction off the line
Been running this rear tire for about a month and have put on around 1000km on it. Sticks good in most condition.

Super sticky
I've been running these for about two years and man do they stick super well for the street. Great pricing for it as well. When it comes to dry performance nothing handles as well as these tires for the price

Inexpensive tire with lifespan to match
The OEM tire on my 1299 Panigale was a Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP. I tried the Bridgestone because the price was about 30% less. The performance for aggressive street riding was comparable, however the tire life is very poor. The Pirelli lasted me about 6,000 kms and the Bridgestone only lasted 3,200 kms. So a 30% savings for only 50% of tire life is not good value.
