I think you might be talking about the Yoko A032R's. They are only ok, and as a R compound tire, could probably be beat by the non-R Falken Azenis RT-615's.

For current R compounds, most autcrossers have really 2 serious choices.. the Hoosier A3S05 and the Kumho Victoracer V710's. There are new entries into the frey of r compounds (like newer Yokos), but none stand out as definitively up to levels of grip that the hohos and kumhos have.
