    Not enough contact patch and hot conditions. Better suited for street tire, technology is now outdated. Still makes a decent spring/summer tire.

      Not sure about the tire, but try 1010 tire ($118.99 CDN no import, plus ship I assume?) or even a local dealer? I get ordering parts from other countries, but right now with the exchange rate, it doesn't make sense unless it's a rare part / not available here.
      Keep your money in Canada if possible...

        Perfect that's what I'm looking for.

        1984 316 Coupe - The Base Model - Pain in the Ass
        1988 750iL - The Daily Driver
        ...And a couple others...

          FWIW, the Falken RT-615K is a updated design/compound tire (redesigned in mid 2011) of their prior RT-615. it has MUCH better grip at higher temps now, it doesn't get greasy at all like the older ones did - and they also have much improved wet performance too. The K isn't the old 615 at all.

            I'm currently running Falkens on another car that I bought from 1010 and I was happy with them.

              Welcome to 2014, It's old. 615 at this point is old aged.
