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.

    • Hi. Hoping someone can maybe tell me if the same R34 cable works on R33 coup? Or tell me how I can fix mine. It broke the same way 1" away from the eye. Blessing
    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.
