I went through 2 sets of RE-11's roughly 5-6 years ago. I ran them on an M50 swapped E30 in 205/50/15's. You really couldn't get enough tire under the car and the RE-11 did better than gold it's own.
They had great grip for a street tire, they were very predictable and they lasted quite a while. They were good in the wet and the dry. Overall, it was just a great tire. Sidewall was pretty stiff....I ran the tire at 26psi cold and about 28-29psi hot.
Again, this was years ago when they first came out, but they were great!
I've heard great things about the RE-71R.....about it being super sticky.....but it doesn't last long. I don't mind going through a set of tires in a season, but I don't want to have to buy tires in Aug/Sept to make it to the last event or 2.
