very good tires, some will say the best performing street tire.

go for the new Dunlop Direzza z1 star spec, near identicl perofrmance but cheaper.

^ i have them and love them

01R's are a very sticky, forgiving performance tire suitable for daily driving. The best tire Bridgestone makes for the street until the RE-11 arrives.

Maybe that's for "normal" driving, not spirited. They don't last long at all but are super-sticky. Very predictable tires on the track, excellent feedback. I want to try the Star-Specs next (mainly because of the price) but you can't go wrong with the RE01Rs.
