well the new re-71r will be a better tire as far as grip is concerned (more comparable to direzza Z2 and Ventust RS3) but that's because they're moving towards that extreme performance category more than the next step down. I'm not sure the re-71r will be a good choice for people who don't race their car and only DD it.
I'm not even sure yet if I want to try out the new tire (no reviews outside of Japan), but it does come in 275/35 so I'm looking to run it square possibly!
