They never greased up on me like Federal RSR did after a couple of laps.
They absolutely take heat better than the 595RSR, but take a tiny bit more time to warm up.

Ironically, my personal best lap in my s2k at SoWS is on the 595 RSR. I absolutely hated the tire and sold them after that first day on them. I also used up nearly 40% of the tread in one day.

This was ~3 years ago, when I only had about 2 years of experience.
