i need some help, which tire is better toyo t1r or falken rt615? like i seen the treadwear, temp, tract...i heard isn't as good on dry road as the rt615, is it?

imported_SilverSleeper

RT-615 is an all out max grip dry summer tire. You'll give up ability in the rain as well as tread life for those tires. T1R from what I can recall is high performance summer tire. Not quite as sticky but not as scary in the wet.

trigga

get the BF drag radials.

project.mu

BF DRAG - GOOD STREET RACING TIRE, DRY 9.5/10, WET 1/10
615 - GOOD ROAD RACING TIRE DRY 8.5/10, WET 3.5/10
T1R - HIGH PERF STREET TIRE 7.5-8/10 DRY/WET

we dont street around here. dont even mention the term.

i think the best bang for buck are the yoko es, the kumho 712, and the fusion zri....

www.tirerack.com gives you some good rating survey....

Toyo T1R by far
best tire ever had
too bad they dont come in 15"

can hit on ramps and off ramps at top speeds and feels like ur on rails

Nova_Dust

Hankook Z212 is also in the price range, you can give that a thought, too.

T1R

imported_A-gor

imported_A-gor

z212? hm...i'll try search for it

coupe95

I have Toyo T1-R's on my car 205/50/15's bought them about 1 1/2 years ago. So they do make them in 15's

Oh and I made the mistake of running 205/50/15's BFG drag radials last year on the street for the summer and 1st they lasted 2 months and 2nd they were scary in the rain LOL, just picture hydroplaning for the whole time you were on the highway when it rained.

Nova_Dust

I had Z212 last year, both daily driving and road racing, pretty decent dual duty tires.

Though decent in rain, don't do emergency braking.

imported_A-gor

coupe95, so is the t1r good on dry and wet? since you tried out already...

nova_dust, so it isn't too good on wet for z212 eh...

neone had hankook rs2 b4?

i'm still thinkin of which one...

DK668

I have rt-615 right now and it's really not that bad in the rain ...
As long as you dont do stupid things like take turns like you do on dry roads, you'll be fine.

coupe95

Yes the T1-R's are perfectly fine in the rain. no problems at all.

imported_A-gor

hm.....thx, i'm still considering which one to get but i'm not in rush to get it...

imported_2join performance

I am still on my winters, but will soon be switching to a set of 205/45/15 T1R's. They should be great for the street.

imported_SilverSleeper

^^^ Isn't that tire a bit too short for a EK? I'm running 205/45/16

imported_SaYjAiBaO

yeah why are you running 45 on 15s?
