I tried this combination with the last set of tires I put on
the RS and liked it.  For myself and my type of riding, I
found that the front felt more stable and planted with the
010. The tire profile is different between the 010 and 020
and I found that the turn-in was a bit slower with the 010
than the 020, but not enough to make a difference to me,
again based on my riding style (I'm no knee-dragger :-).
