It's like 25/tire savings
I'd be cutting back 100 dollars on the wedding ring, to just buy the tires that are proven to work.
I got my Bridgestones with a $75 pre-paid rebate card, and I'm sure they do this several times a year.

For my scenario, I have a codriver, and I'd like one set of RE-71R to have good characteristics for the entire season. The $100-less-per-set Kumhos would just be nice to have to try something different, since barely anybody else is giving feedback on them. Since the Kumhos would be used for the "fun" events, I don't have to worry about the (possibly) more competitive RE-71R getting worn out prematurely. One of my hopes is that the Kumho may last longer (like Dunlop ZII do).
Where I live, there are three organizations that host autocross events very regularly (SCCA SFR, Lotus Club, AAS), and two other organizations offer some events throughout the year (BMWCCA, PCA). With a codriver and that many opportunities to drive, you can see it's fairly easy to quickly wear out a set of RE-71R that already shows a bit quicker wear. We also have a large venue with a very abrasive surface at our disposal.
