RE71's overheat. They're done after about 150* F. The NT01's on my car run around 190-210...

I've ran RE71R tires in 245 size at three track events so far and have not found them getting greasy. It's east to mistake tires getting greasy for tires being overheated due to pushing them too much in improper way. What I'm talking about is overheating front tires only.
The goal for the driver is to distribute load on tires as evenly as possible. Therefore keeping the tire temps in check. If the car is pushed in such a way that only the fronts get too hot (usually due to improper apexing the corner), then the car will feel mushy and understeery.
That's only my educated opinion though.

Just teasing.
