Hi Steve,
You'll be real lucky if you find a new one. I've used RE-71s on my car since purchased (1992), and I recently had to swap to RE-730s (replacement for the RE-71). The Tirerack had absolutely no RE-71s to sell me.
How much tread is on your good RE-71?

Unfortunately RE-71s have also dropped off the inventory lists here in Europe as well. I believe a few may still available in England. I think it is time now to look for alternatives. When they were available here in Switzerland they were the most expensive road tyre,

PS: You may also find them in Japan but again it is going to get very expensive.

I will be taking a couple RE71s off my car.
Just bought the car and swapping them off for some Yokohamas. Tread should be pretty good. I think they only have a few thousand or so on em.
