Thumbs up rt-615`s rock.

well i had the new tires put on, and just wow. true R-compound with street tread. they are awesome.

the road noise is vertually gone. and the handling is prety damn awesome.

thought i would post up about em, since allwheeldrive guys need all the traction we can get.


RT615`s 235`s vs the 245`s



the 235`s rt 615`s vs the 235`s kuhmo allseasons



kuhmo`s are 37&1/2 inches tall



the RT615`s are 42 inches tall



the new Greddy SP2 is so quite that it is a tad bit louder than stock.

So that's the first time I've ever seen anyone measure the heighth of 4 tires stacked on top of one another.

They look grippy as hell though.

well i thought it would give a better compairison of how much tire is hitting the ground

over an inch and a 1/4 per corner more with the 615`s....

and yes, they are grippy as hell.





but they wont last long
