Just wonder that a RE71 exists these times ;)
The original RE71 was a tyre I almost bought in 1995 or so for my Escort XR3i but decided to take the newer and cheaper Pirelli P5000 Vizzola
I take your point about OE tyres but the reverse can be true & OE worse. Much depends upon the prioritised parameter of appraisal. As you have noted elsewhere, if the manufacturer is prioritising rolling resistance or longevity in compound design & one's interest is wet grip, then OE will be worse.
