RE71R are great on the street, I've never had any issues with low "cold" grip. Pretty sure they are specifically designed to give great grip right off the bat, with the drawback being that after a several laps at the track they might start to get past their optimum heat range and lose grip. Which wouldn't be an issue at all on the street.
I've streeted on NT01s as well, into the autumn months in New England, and IMO even those had decent enough cold grip for semi-spirited street driving.
