Anybody tried the Falken RT-615s

[bmwm3n528]

Any reviews? Just looking for some opinions.

Isn't that tire not even out yet? I was looking at them, but the 225's are coming out late 05. Maybe other sizes are out meow. They look sweet though.

Why'd I post this?

They've got the 205s....

I have one in 195/60-14.. but I'll have to wear out my RT-215s before I can get the rest of the set and try them out. ;)

they don't seem much lighter than the 215 if anyone is wondering about that. I haven't weighed them though.

I've ridden in a car with them. Instructor's 00 Civic Si with 205-50-15.

Stuck like crazy and he just threw the bitch in the corners. Reminded me a lot of rides in cars with R compounds.

I have them in 225/45/17 on my e36 m3 (they don't have 235/40/17 yet). They work good, not sticky as R's. They wont pick up rocks, even when warn. I'm happy with them wear and grip wise. They don't seem to offer any more grip than my kumho estca street tires. scca.forums has talked about them to death. seems like the old 215 sport was a tiny bit faster, but more temp finicky.

I've done 1 track day, 2 solo 1's, 3 solo 2's, and 500-1000 street miles so far.
