I have relatively little experience on tires for the 1er, but have run Star Specs on my old Stage three Subaru, and now the 71r's on Biene.
I have to say that the 71r's are and insane amount of grip and love them for the last three crosses. I mean these things are full potato stupid grip. They are significantly softer than a 200 rated tire though, and have no idea how SCCA allows them in Street classes.
The break away is linear and predictable, and I didn't really notice them getting greasy with the heat. I haven't run them in the wet, but I have heard from others that they are still very good in that situation.
Between the two types of Extreme performance tires I have tried, I prefer the 71r's, however they are expensive and wear quickly.
