ok well im kinda of tired getting no traction through 1st gear, spining both wheels thanks to the LSD means a set of 512s from falkens dont last. i know an LSD isnt a big thing but id like to make it useful by getting stickier tires. i know the 615s from falken (replacing the azenis) are good for roughly 15k. anyone had any issues from heat? i dont drive large distances to work but i do the occasional highway boot and traveling at speeds over 90 for periods of time, would this heat up the tire too much? i guess proper tire pressure is key but im just asking general opinions on these tires for those who have run them.

thanks.

how would cruising on the road heat up a tire too much?

just get them, they will last longer than your street tires if youre making that much power.

well i was thinking as the tires get slighty hotter they will get stickier and possibly wear out faster, but they arent R compounds. so yea ill be picking up a set in the coming weeks.

i heard nothing but good things about the 615s, but keep in mind that they're half R compound tires so don't think they'll last long.

I am running the 451s, they're not that sticky IMO..

This is some "user input" info I found on them. Have no personal experience.

"Falken Azenis RT-615 They are the single closest thing to a drag radial I have found for straight line acceleration They have a stiff sidewall , and are fairly stiff riding due to it. They are semi-noisy due to the HUGE treadblocks , but the soft compound masks this some They do not make any kind of squealing noises at all , under any amount of force. expect 10 to 12 thousand if you spin your tires a lot with agressive driving , and 17 to 20 thousand if you drive conservatively until you need to light them up
Until something better comes along , I will continue to buy these as my daily driven street tire.
Below is listed the simple results of the other tires I tested.
Nitto 555R - good all around , but spun in 3rd gear... Good feel though
Kuhmo Ecsta MX- SUCKED badly .... Spun THROUGH even third gear.
Potenza s-03 - fairly good feel , great ride , spun through first of 3rd gear
Hankook Ventus R-s2z212 - Great feel , and probably second in stickyness
Pilot Sports PS-2 - Quiet ride , great feel , spun through third
Toyo Prox-4 - Nice ride , spun through most of 3rd gear.
Yokohama ES-100 - Harsh ride , let go INSTANTLY in corners , loud, and spun ALL the way through 3rd gear.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3- Sweet ride , quiet , nice cornering feel , spun through most of third.
BF Goodrich KDW - Nice tires really , SCARY in the rain , wore out fast , and spun in 3rd gear too much.

ive got the hankook rs2's and i love them. biult motor and turbocharged and i can still manage to lay down some traction if im not ovely hard on the shifts. awsome price too and they handle great. ill keep buying them as long as they keep making them
