I don't have any data yet on RE71R's....I don't have my logs right in front of me but the R1's were over a second faster than the NT01's. I do remember turning a 59.xxx on the R1's a LRP a couple times (5+ yrs ago)...Was running 285/30/18's 0n 11" rims with NO downforce, or wings...
The R1's weigh less than the NT01's, don't get greasy and they are a better tire on a heavier car such as ours.
The NT01's will last longer than the R1's, but I'm addicted the R1's now. I just like the balance they offer in wear, heat cycles, tire management and speed. Whichever one you go with will be fun.
