anybody have any feedback on these yet? i just got a set to replace my older re-01 (215-45-16), and even after scrubbing these in, they don't seem to offer as much grip and braking

 

I'm not sure how many responses you'll get, because they're not available in North America in smaller sizes for our Honda/Acura cars (not even sizes for the NSX). Basically, they're similar to other tires that are designed for dry traction, and wear quickly and aren't that great in rain: Falken Azenis RT-615, BFGoodrich g-Force KD, Yokohama Advan Neova AD07. Here in the States, the Azenis is a good alternative if that's what you're looking for.
