I am awaiting a set of these myself, but from a few guys that were lucky enough to test these, the word back has been positive so far and have heard that they have been comparable if not better than the Bridgestone RE10R's and Advan Neova's. Damn I Can't wait!

how do you like em? How do they compare with the RE01Rs or any of the top UHP street tires? Sidewall Stiffness? How much were they and where did you get it? What size are you guys running? Are these wider than RE01Rs with same size?
LoL. Im interested in these thats why so many questions. Basically just give us as much information you can about how these tires feel.

I love them! I have only had a chance to run them once but I am looking forward to some more testing soon.
They definately are a faster tire than the RE01R as well as being more responsive. I have limited experience with them so far so these are based off of initial impressions.
The R1R has a stiffer sidewall than any other street tire I have tried. Response feels more like an R-Compound than a street tire for sure.
Sponsorship.
I ran a 265/35/18 for the last event, but will be running a 255/35/18 for the upcoming season due to the rule change for the Redline Time Attack Street Class.
Yes, about 10mm wider so plan accordingly.
