i have had the direzza's and it would be very hard for me to say anything bad about them. I have never driven a car with the reo1r's on it so i cant really comment on them. Good luck with your decision.

I'm also looking for reviews on the RE-01R's. Any info would be great! Nice thread.

I've got the RE-01R's and they are pretty awesome. I had an instructor ride along with me in a couple of autox runs and he was very impressed with the grip. They seem to wear very well -- i expect double what I got out of the stockers. The sidewalls are a little softer than stock, but when inflated properly, the difference is negligible. I can't compare them to the Dunlops since I've never ridden in a car with the, but compared to stock the bridgestones are pretty frickin good.

Well theres a thread on it if you look about the Dunlops. They are good. Alot still run the RE01R because they are proven to be fast. The dunlops seem to have no problem keeping up. Save the $$$ and just go for the dunlops...the RE01R's are getting hard to get and price is gettin high. Btw I own a set of RE01R's...they work good trust me.

RE01Rs are the best tires I have ever driven on the street. I was even impressed with their wet level grip. I drove through some monsoons and these tires never hydroplaned.

They are quite similar to be honest. However, i've had more positive feedback based on overall grip and response on the B-Stones than any other tire. They make an awesome tire hands down. If it were my car I'd put the 01R's on.
