I like them both for normal street use. The P8000e series is better (ulw 
is best but disc.). The Dunlops are very quiet, great in the wet, wear 
well, and last a long time; the 71's are an older design, but still a 
decent tire. Neither is really up to task for autocrossing competetively 
(flame suit on). I've used both and they are at least 2 sec. off in a 60 
sec. course from an R-tire.

I would advise going to the full tread Kumho. But I sure miss the 
RE-71stu/r's.
