The contributing factor seems to be the difference in sidewall stiffness between the NT01s and RE-71s. The NT01 isn't as stiff as the RE-71 and, as a result, turn-in isn't as crisp and requires slower entry and cornering speeds. The upside is that the NT01s last much longer.
I'm leaning towards taking my FL-5 18" square setup to a staggered setup. I believe the rear FL-5 is 10.5" wide. Is anyone running a staggered RE-71 setup? If so, what size in the rear?

I have an 18" square set-up on FL-5 (9.5") wheels with 255/35/18 Dunlop Dirreza tires. After my first track day I plan on switching back to staggered set-up to see the difference. Don' t know if I will get 2 FL-5 wheels for rear in 10.5 width or maybe put a 275 on the 9.5 current wheels.
