Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R (Neova who?)

Anyone know anything? Supposed to come out in April and I have heard good things. Perhaps I shouldn't dive into a new set of Neovas just yet...

"The W- and V-speed rated Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tire carries a UTQG rating of 140 for treadwear, ‘A’ for traction and ‘A’ for temperature. It will be available beginning April 2006 in 13 popular 16- to 19-inch, 30- to 55-series sizes."

Looks like something similar to the RE010:

That was an excellent tire that only came OE on Acura. The RE01R debuted not long ago in Japan, nice to see that it's arriving here.
