The RE-71R may even be better than the Cup 2 in terms of outright grip, but there is not much data comparing the Extreme summer category tires to the Streetable track category.
I would be tempted to run RE-71R or Yokohama AD08R on the street but it does rain and the ability to evacuate standing water on those tires is a concern.

Agree, I would never run the RE71R on the street. I have only heard good things about them but that was for track.
What I like about the 4S, just looking at the specs (still trying to burn up the stock Contis) is that I can drive to the track, not have to change tires and most importantly unlike the RE71R and Cups is not have to worry, as much, about rain...and assuming proper camber may last longer.
