rs2 for the track, falken for auto-x

rs2 temps stay more consistent on the track, falken's get greasier earlier.

sweet. I've been wondering that for a long time

^ I've driven on both, and a buddy of mine I autocross with also had both sets. Both are good in autocross, but the RS2s are a notch better in rain vs the rt615s... IIRC rt615s measure wider and also warm up quicker.

I've used both RT-615 and RS2. The RS2 doesn't have as much rubber touching the ground but still grip similarly to the Azenis on the dry. They are great in the rain. I loved mine and would buy them again for street/track use.

Btw, I had mine mounted on Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 15x7. They fit fine.

rs2's or falken azenis?

Sweet, thanks.

I've got 225/50s on Euroweaves and Ill be autoxing next weekend. Just from driving around on the street I can tell these stick a lot better than the G-Force sports I had on my other e30. I'll let you know how they feel on the autox.

Well, if I could find cheap rims in a larger size I would go with that, but cheap rims in et20 offset are a bit tough to find in my lacking budget.

AlarmedBread-I have an M42, so I know what you mean by massive numbers... Low power plus the LSD plus suspension means that I really don't have an issue with oversteer if I am being anything close to smooth.

225/45/15 is slightly pinched on a 7", 50's would be worse.

They are nice on track, struggle to put down the massive hp and tq of a stock m20 for autox.

[guibo09]

definitely better than the other two tires in your op.

however, they are lagging in the auto-x street tire category. they were the budget pick 3 years ago, now they've been lapped by the dunlops and stones. however, they have the best size choice by far, especially for the e30.

even tho i really wanted to run 225's on 15", im gonna opt for the khumo XS in 205.

[SR20Fastback]

I have them on the front (still waiting to finish off the crap ass ES100's on the rear). Pretty good time, especially for the money. I like it more than the azenis, and for the 225/15 size is probably the best street tire.

[gearheadE30]

I looked for the Star Spec and the RE01r that my dad has on the M5 and it is unavailiable, so this is really my only choice. Sounds like a good tire though, so I'll probly go for it.

[PaintPro21]

I ran them for about 10 track days. I loved them, they could be a little squirly but not as bad as most everything else out there. They are in the top ranks for a street performance tire, and even more so in the budget catagory.

They wear surprisingly well. I had a lot of tire left before I sold them off as used to go to r-comps.

I'd recommend them for sure if the dunlop star spec z1 is not available in that size.

I love mine when its warm out

[nando]

they have a lot of void area, less straight line traction and slightly less cornering than comparable tires. personally I would look for something else but they are a pretty good tire for the price.
