As a current RT660 shod owner I can say NOT a good tire for the wet or cold. They take a bit to warm up and behave like ice on wet surfaces. That being said, I do like the challenge of driving with them on cold wet mornings. Reminds me that I am alive. Or, will be for the next few seconds. Really, a great tire for fun weekend car but not a DD when you have to use the car no matter what. I have other cars and now that I have a few miles on the RT660 they are far less effective than they used to be on wet surfaces.
When hot the RT660 will tear your face off. Really a great tire for track and road legal use to the track. They don't really warm up fast enough for autoX but I am going to try them and see what the results are. I expect I wont be able to get heat into them.
FWIW they have worn great and outlasted my expectations by a very wide margin. Seriously, I have used these tires for more miles than others that have had 300 tread ware and they are still going strong. I'm pretty amazed for a DOT legal 200TW tire. I used to go through AO48 tires on my Elise every 6000 miles. So, the fact that I used these for a DD and road trips and they lasted is friggin amazing!
