Thoughts?

R1R's are inferior in every way, even in wear/tire life. Having burned multiple sets of both of these tires, R1R's are just old technology. Very soft compound, but suffer from bad tread squirm, and soft sidewall, and they'll heat cycle out much quicker. The RE71R is so much easier to drive on, and will be significantly faster for new-amateur drivers, giving you much more confidence in slaloms. These tires are not even close in my opinion, there's a reason even the people running the 195-50-15 in STS even swapped to Re71R's (or Rival-S) this year.
