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!

I ran 245 and 225 RE71Rs, and 235 NT01s on the BRZ this year at all the COMSCC events. I found them to be extremely user-friendly at the limit. Particularly in heavy rain with standing water! In which conditions I was able to catch and pass faster cars on Hoosier H2Os. Specifically because I was able to catch the car easily after losing grip, so I could drive much closer to the limits of grip more of the time.
Actually, I have to say I now recall that my student's spins on OEM tires was in wet conditions, and we had wet conditions at the track that day at Palmer on the RE71Rs. So now that I think about it, he was specifically worried about controllability in the wet and was very relieved to find the RE71Rs to be *more* controllable in those conditions.
But that said, I've found the RE71Rs to be extremely driveable at and beyond the limits in the dry on my car.
