Tread wear of 200. I'd hardly call those R compounds. Hell the stock Advans on the Evos are 160s (I think the stock STI tyres are 140s). My Goodyear GSCSs that I ran on my T1 car were 20s.

on your first post the clearance between the wheel and brake looks slim...i know its perception but it looked pretty tight in there.
i thought about RT's but neova's for me since i live in an aquarium.

Awsome tires, I had them for 1/2 year. Wear same as Advans A046. Advans hav a little more traction and even stiffer sidewall, also better wet traction than these.
615s are the best for 18Inch rims though.
(The way I tested traction is on the curve of 26 going to 217, with Advans I would go like 2-3 mph faster)

i drive the **** out of car eveyday, i have gone through Michelin PS, great tires too. Falken i like a lot better. on any tire when it come to traction, you have to give something. if you want max dry traction than you're going to give up a little of wet traction or vice versa. So far i have no problem with the RT 615. Would i buy them again?? hell yeah

The 255 width RT-615's hydroplane in any standing water at speeds above 50mph. I don't care what their little user-defined rating is.
But if you still think I can't drive, you're welcome to come show me how it's done. You can find me out at Deal's Gap 3-4 days a week and I've been through 4 sets of RT-615s since I bought the car last June.

And yeah it sucks over here.

that road has nothing on the NW... it is an outlet for people in the south to use, cause all of there roads are straight and flat.
it is a nice road, but the hype it gets is way over rated.
26>217 is a great place to test the limits. a higher speed corner is 14>205 N or S
