I'd say go with the KD's. I have them and the grip is fantastic.
+1 I had the Yokohama A032R's on the street when I was waiting for my Work rims to arrive and those suckers kicked up every rock and pebble on the road.

Sorry - this made my day, DOT-R's on the Street - lol.

615's are great dry street tires, just don't expect them to perform in the rain. Many people that track for fun use them because they are one of the best street tires and are cheap. Plus, they don't have to own an extra set of wheels for track tires, as there street tires are their track tires.

thanks guys for all of the input. i really appriciate it.

so let me ask this...

with the falken 615's in a size 255-40-18 (for my stock track wheels) have more or less grip than my toyo T1R's 285-30-19's? considering all conditions are ideal.

Hard to tell...

Is grip that important ? Don't you like to slide the car through a corner ?

Driving on rail is boring IMO...
