Yes, the RS4 has very stiff sidewalls. Totally unlike the PSS. Virutally no roll-over scrubbing. Even running at 32-34 PSI hot (starting about 25 PSI cold), I've just barely gotten to the the little triangle edge markers. And when I did, I reversed them to start wearing on the other side.
You'll probably find that the RE71 was better at auto-x. It sticks better when cold. But if you're just doing it for fun, the RS4 is plenty capable.
Do watch your pressures though. If you get over 36-38 PSI hot, the RS4 will start sliding like crazy.

I was surprised as well. RS4 is definitely quieter (at least when new) than RE71r.
Compared to those 2 tires, PSS is like marshmallow. So soft and quiet.
Thanks for the tip. I will watch the pressure.
