The RE 01R is not in any way a similar tire to either the 040 or 050. It's a competition tire primarily made for autocrossing in the SCCA's Street Touring classes. It's main competition is the Yokohama Advan Neova and Falken's Azenis RT-615.
They are a great tire for competition use in the ST* classes. I have no idea how they work as actual street tires. My guess is that they will be a bit loud (especially after getting a bit worn), and their wet traction will decline quite rapidly in short order.
