A friend has put over 4K miles on a set and loves them.

I've gotten 2 lapping weekends out of mine and will probably get one more.

I've got 1K on them and they rock. One autox session; raining however so I can't really comment on that. For street they are great. I miss the Nitto DR a little in the rear, but the handling makes up for it.

I just got 2 RII's mounted on the rear of my SS. I still have the F1's up front. In my opinion they are great! I was having major traction problems after my H/C install and I didn't want to run the Nitto DR's. I wanted a better all around tire to give me better traction and handling. When I got them mounted on Friday, I drove them for about 40 miles on the highway, then let them sit for about a day (just a little home-based heat cycling).

First impression is they handle great and have super traction. They do ride a bit harder since they have a stiffer sidewall but it's not too rough. Just for information, I am running BMR LCA's and Panhard rod as well.
