Falken RT 615K

[M-technik-3]

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.

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

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...

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

Perfect that's what I'm looking for.

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 Better suited for street tire, technology is now outdated.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

OK but we melted ours at our last lemons race. We also used Direzza II and liked the first Direzza better for track use.

I can see them overheating with use like that. For auto x or an extreme summer tire, they should do well.

Just ordered a set in 16" for the drift car. Seem super grippy, very stiff sidewall.

I have a set on my E30. Great in the summer, but in the snow might as well walk. Tried to back the car out of the garage on the snow and ended up pushing it back in. The tires just spin on top of the snow.

Okay sounds pretty good I think I'm convinced. Only problem is we still have 3" of snow in Edmonton so it'll a while before I can try these out lol

pretty old tech but in 14" there's not really many choices. $600 seems a lot to me for 14" tires though.

The K designation is a newer compound, as in 615K.

I used a set on my MR2, and E30. Great tires, none of that tread squirm feeling.

i run these year round

I've found them to be total junk. I've got a set on my Datsun and its like driving on ice. I'm not sure there is any 14 inch tire worth buying these days. I'm sort of trying to sell my wheels so I can buy some 15s and have a choice of tires again.

You were using the 14s?
