How much of a difference are they compared to T1r's?
Don't be decieved by the price. The RE-01R is Bridgestone's answer to the Michelin Pilot Sports, an excellent all around tire which not the best at any one category.

I'm not saying these are a bad tire, nor are they not worth the value, but if you have a specific purpose in mind this may not be the best choice.

If you want a summer tire with luxury tire features, look in to the Michelin PS2. Those who have looked down in this tire has never experienced it before. Their manufacturing secrets for this one model are so confidential, that their research facilities are comparable to that of Lockheed Martin. They offer an amazing manufacuring process that allows better side wall construction as well as more contact patch than any others during hydro-plaining conditions. Everyone can drive on a tire and will accept the obvious feedback from their rubbers, but the PS2 will ensure safety unmatched by any, and excelllent performance for a Z/Y rated tire.

Other choice for extreme summer conditions will include the Toyo R1R.

Wow thanks! I was comparing the PS2's to these and just couldn't find an answer. Ultimately i like trying out new things and seeing how they work, but i don't want to break the budget to find a sutiable set either.

I would use this set for summer/fall only, and used for spirited driving through mountainous roads.

I like your description, you want a job in marketing? Thank you for the feedback...it's always welcomed and appreciated.
