RE71's are better in wet conditions (by a decent amount)

RE010's are better in dry conditions (by a smaller amount)

RE71's make more road noise (you get used to it, but at first it is 

almost objectionable compared to the near silent RE010's)



I am targeting their lifespan to be about the same, but maybe the 

RE71's will last a tad longer?  The RE010's "feel" like a softer 

compound tire...



I'm not 100% sold on either one - meaning, they are both good tires, 

but I am not sure what I will buy next (in a month or two)



IMO, YMMV, yada yada yada
