I just sold a set of RE950's (got new some 16" rims + tires), and I would have kept them had they fit the new rims. My only comparison is to Dunlop D60's, and the RE950's had better handling in dry and wet, and were quieter. However, I only had the Bridgestones for 1200 miles, so who knows how I'd like them down the road. FWIW, they have a high wear rating: 400.
When I researched tires prior to choosing the RE950's, I found much more positive remarks on various BB's than negative, and, Firestone notwithstanding, I found several comments attesting to strong quality control (lots of negative comments re: Pirelli's, btw).
One other thing I found in my 'net searching is that screeching tires on fast corners doesn't necessarily = poor handling. Some tires "talk" more than others...
