Interesting that they introduced RE-71RS last year and now this (after the Potenza Sport I figured they'd drop the RE-71R and start a new nomenclature (such as Race)). Based on the press release (the test details at the bottom, track longevity) it might be aimed more at endurance 200TW than the super/cheater 200TW like the RE-71RS. A shame it's so expensive, though; hard to imagine it taking the crown from the RS4 at that price point.

Hopefully TireRack and TyreReviews will test it soon.
