Stock PSS 265mm is completely junk BTW, compared to RE71R.
I used to think anything from max performance category is junk, including 295 PS4S. But had a second thought because recently BM3 flashed my friend's M2 and had fun with his car on 285mm P Zero. Surprised his grip was way better than when I was one year ago with 265PSS. I think tire width really makes a difference.

Too many variables here.
A 265 4S will smoke a 265 71R in the rain and cold. Assuming you mean dry, warm weather (and having driven many miles on both tires), I doubt a 265 71R could match a 295 4S. I ran similar times on track with a 265 71R and a 285 4S.
If I’m going easy fitment, warm weather, and don’t care about comfort, I’d run 255/285/35 F/R 71R. Colder temps & rain, same sizes in 4S.
Extreme fitment, 265/35 305/30 71R or 265/30 295/30 4S. The 71R is loud and uncomfortable for a street tire.
