Have to say this is the opposite of my experience, and my student's experience with these tires. My impression is that the RE71R retains a goodly %age of its grip while sliding. Particularly in the wet. I've found them to be very forgiving tires overall. Drawbacks being: inability to put gobs of power down (not an issue in stockish-power FT86) and short life.
That said I don't have any experience at the track on OEM tires. But my friend/student's assessment was that it was easier to spin the car with them.
