The S001 will easily out handle the RE9370AS at the limits.
For moderate daily driving, the RE970AS is comfortable. But for any extreme limits the S001 is significantly superior in every way.
AZ or not I will never get the RE970AS again. It is terrible in winter conditions, poor in wet road conditions, and has limited tolerances at the limits under dry conditions. Even in Arizona, I would think you could find much better tires. Oh and btw, there tires weren't cheap. Actually it was priced at a premium.
Just doing my part to get rid of an inferior tire and let people vote with the pocket books to get a subpar product off the market.
