Default These Tires are Awsome

Just giving some of yall another tire option but I just threw on a set of Falken RT615 and they rock. Great grip smooth ride and not alot of noise. Not to mention very affordable and great looking. I have been a nitto fan (555 and invos) for the past couple years and from what I see I think these are better all around. I have stock rims so not familiar with size availability but check them out if your shopping now. Waiting for rain to see how they will perform but I will keep yall posted.

I love 615s - they do actually perform pretty well in the rain also. I wish they made them in 19" sizes

Well, you haven't had them on long enough to tell how good they really grip. Once the "grease" scuffs off they'll be really sticky.

Once they get worn down though, they aren't that good in the wet. They'll also harden up and get noiser over time. Personally, I love them for autocrossing but wouldn't have them as street tires on a daily driver. Depending on how hard you drive them, you'll be lucky to get a year out of them.

Dave, I'm looking for new tires. What's your favorite?

I run Michelin PS2's on my everyday wheels. They're not cheap but they are very grippy (done several HPDE's on them) and seem to be wearing pretty well. Handling is excellent and they're not too noisy.

For autocrossing/track, I'm going to try some Bridgestone RE-01s to replace my Falkens.

just don't take em to the track. they overheat in about 3 laps and gets really greasy. otherwise it is a street tire. RE-01R is a far more superior tire. It holds up very well on the track.
