I really think our stockers are just awsome tires, but damn they are expensive.
My first choice would be to stick with the stockers, but I have different set of wheel and street tires for my DD. The Advans would be my track tires(In my case RA1's)
I recommend advans if you have the funds

If you have quite a good bit of tread left on your rear tires I would get the Advans up front & switch when you wear out that set. If you decide to get a full set PM me what you would be willing to sell the 2 rear tires for shipped to 30022.

You cannot compare an R-compound tire to a non-R-compound tire as the R-compound tire will prevail every time. The A046 is an R-compound tire whereas the RT-615 is not. I have used the RT-615s on two other cars that I have owned, and while it is a great tire it is not on the same level as any R-compound tire. Based on my understanding, the A046 is slightly less "competitive" than a A048 (which has been deemed as one of the best R-compound track tires out there) and was designed to give great traction at the track (autocrossing and road racing) while giving a fair amount of traction in wet terrains (the A048 is not a great wet terrain tire).

RT-615s are about the best non-R-compound tire you will find. Great for autocrossing and road racing. Not so great for wet terrain nor drag racing (stiff sidewall = no good for drag racing). So, IMHO the RT-615 is a step DOWN from a A046. No matter what terrain you are driving on it fails in comparison. A046s can be purchased from the dealership, but unless you live in a wet climate you might as well step up to a A048...or a RA-1 for that matter. Both tires are the elite when it comes to R-compounds for autocrossing and road racing. From what I've heard they perform well in drag racing (not as well as DRs of course).
