Hoosier is saying they'll be faster than the competition, might be true in some cases and not others. Judging from the vid it's more an endurance tire than a TT/AX tire though, if so not really comparable to RE or A052. CRS is kinda in between, they seem to have a broad application but don't warm up fast enough on lighter cars. I wanted to try them in 335/18 square this year but they were sold out. A couple really fast drivers here have liked them.

CRSV2's are clearly better than A052's for me, I've used them back to back (with A052's being new and V2's being a few heat cycles in). For TT I will never buy A052's again. They are slower and it's not really within noise. Around mid ohio the 52's were clearly about .4 seconds slower per lap vs the CRSV2's. I used them back to back in 4 sessions.
Without a lap timer you wouldn't be able to tell but with my Aim2solo it's very clear. Pretty much every couple of corners I gain an extra red light on my timer.
Never tested RE71RS vs CRSV2's back to back so I can't comment on that. I bought the RE71RS once for rain but never really gave them an all out TT effort.
