Jason,
Thanks for the comprehensive review.  I like the RE-71s, too.  They offer
incredibly high performance for a bargain price. I also replaced D60s with
them.  The D60s are a good tire, but are not on the same playing field with
the RE-71s in terms of performance.  I think the D60s are a little better in
the wet, though.
