My Yokahama AO32's had worn out so I went looking for a new tyre.As I drive my GTR everyday,R compound were wearing out quick.I decided to try the new RT 615's from Falken,at $330 a tyre for 255/40/17,they were cheaper than SO3's.They are not a true R compound but have thick sidewalls,aggresive tread pattern and brilliant grip,apparently I was the second guy to get them in Vic,someone else has a set on an STI.

Very impressed with grip level,have not tracked them yet,wont get a chance as I have some LMGT4's with RE55's waiting on the docks for me.

Will be interesting to see how they cope with a track day. As a street tyre they should be awesome.

It will also be interesting to see where Falken heads in the future with their tyres since their parent company ( Ohtsu ) has been bought out by Sumitomo.

I am going to get the RT 615's as soon as Tempe Tyres get them in stock next month, they have been out in the states for a little while and I have only been reading lots of good things about them. Tempe said that they would cost me $280 a tyre for a 255/40/18.

m&m - how soft is the rubber? I realise it's not going to be quite as tacky as the Comp-Rs you've run in the past, but relative to your regular streeters how are they?

I'm up for new tyres in the not-too-distant future, and I want something sporty, but tyre life is a bigger factor since I'll have rims for Comp-Rs.

It seems my new wheels are delayed, so I'll have more time to wait for you to drive them around and let us know what the wear rates are. ;-)

I am very interested in them (I ran RT215s for a while and loved everything but the fact that they were wearing the tread depth indicators at 11,000km) but I'll have to see how they cope as a commuter tyre.

    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
