On my radar: Direzza DZ102, Sumitomo HTR ZIII, Firestone Indy 500 .
You're looking in the wrong category of tires for what you want! You are in UHP Summer, two categories less "aggressive" than Extreme Performance Summers you should be looking at. RE71R are top of that heap. Incredible grip, but short-lived (I bought 3 sets last year...). Others: BFG Rival, Dunlop ZIII, Hankook RS4, etc.

You might even consider "streetable" R-comps like Nitto NT01, Yok A052, and Toyo R888R.
