IMO i don't even like the re01r. Cold it sucked, and even worse I felt high speed cornering, when you started to break loose was just uncomfortable. I can't believe they are faster than pilot sport 2, but maybe so in ideal conditions.
Right now on the new sti I still have my re70's, not sure what I'll change too when they are toast, not sure if ps2 will loose a lot of grip towards re70 or not in the dry.

RE-01R is replaced by RE-11.
Michelin Pilot PS2 is OVERPRICED!!! (IMO)
I'd consider Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec, Kumho Ecsta XS, or Hankook Ventus R-S3 for Extreme Summer Performance... for DD I'd consider Sumitomo HTR Z III or Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110.

ALL Summer Performance (especially Extreme & Max) tires suck in cold... Newer ones handle wet better though.
Stock 04-07 STI comes w/ RE070 & the other car (AFAIK) comes w/ these as OEM was S2000 CR. No replacement for these yet (AFAIK).
RE-01R is replaced by RE-11.

Yea I dunno why I didn't like my re01r's, But I only put about 600 miles on them before my friend sent my car into a tree. I definitely felt they were scary when you break loose relative to the ps2 tho, maybe they were just to new?
The thing that blows about the ps2 is the sidewalls have a hard time holding up on awd cars, and as you said they are a total rip.
