I can tell that my student was extremely relieved to find the car much more *driveable* at and just beyond the limit on RE71Rs vs. OEM Primacies.

You can't generalize about tires, characteristics at the limit are going to vary from specific model to specific model. For sure there are plenty of very sticky tires out there that are very progressive and linear when losing and regaining grip. I'm a big fan of RE71Rs and Nitto NT01s. You can hang the back end out all day and gather it back up smooove as silk, no problemo.
Hmm. Well I still 1,000,000% disagree with you! My autocross tires are 245 section RE71Rs, and I can't see how you could possibly consider them anywhere near as "user friendly" at the limit!
