I don't have a clean frame of reference unfortunately because the RE71Rs are on lighter 18" wheels, and are wider all around (275 squared vs 245/265 staggered). I also upgraded my sway bar from stock to Dinan's.
What I can say is that these tires didn't get greasy at all on track and I punished them hard in turns. Had a 1.1G sweeping right hander turn that went immediately into a left, and the car held the turn at 100 mph, while skidding only a little bit. The tires don't squeal with the same high pitched timbre as the MPSS but have their own distinct sound.
My final runs on day 2 were consistently in the 2:07 - 2:09 range. It was 103 degrees outside, punishingly hot, and the tires didn't feel like they were losing their grip at all, even after the 6th or 7th lap of the session.
