    Review from Tire Rack consumer
    I have had ALL the top various 200 tread wear tires over the past 20 years. The re71 quickly became my favorite of all time. The re71rs didn't disappoint! Steering feel, tire stability, tremendous grip across a WIDE range of conditions. Make this tire faster overall.. by far my favorite tire for roads like deals gap due to that ability to adapt.. again , tons of control and finesse in all conditions,confidence, transitions well off on grip and tremendous wet / dry grip

    Review from Tire Rack consumer
    This is the best 200tw tire I've ever had in terms of outright grip and feel. I highly recommend everyone buys at least one set of RE71RS's. The only con I have for these is that the tread life doesn't look like it will be promising based on the wear they already have.

    Review from Tire Rack consumer
    Great autocross tires meeting all of my expectations. Very competitive tire. The car is in an SCCA Street Class which allows no suspension modifications other than factory adjustments. The tires would wear much better if camber adjustments could be made. This is my second set of RE-71RS. Previously I ran Falken tires between the time the RE-71R were no longer available and the introduction of the RE-71RS.
