Running 615+ on my race/street car. Car is fair weather but have been caught in the rain. Hoping they last 9 events this year plus less than 1500 street miles. Love the tires just did my first event and performed great.
i ran 615s on a gti for two-ish seasons and i’d highly recommend them for the track, but would warn you at least for me, they weren’t great on the street if any water entered the chat.
I use to run their ar1 then I saw the falken rt660 came out and those last longer. Grip feels about the same, I got a faster time on the falkens.
Update after driving to, on and back from the track - The grip is much greater than stock Hankooks, was a wet day but I still found the grip to be quite impressive. The brakes stayed cool without any signs of fade or losing brake feel.
Really liking my Falken Aklimates. I have had them about 9 months....summer/fall/rochester ny winter/ and a very wet spring. I got stuck in gnarly northern Kentucky tornado storms a week ago...super safe and planted in sketchy standing water situations surrounded by big rigs...these tires are so well balanced in Every condition. Def sticky enough for pushing it in twisties and carving big off-ramps and spirited city freeway missions. Getting 36+ mpg and I drive like a 16 yo more than I would like to admit.
Track setup installed! EBC Blue rear, IS2500 front, RS3 brake ducts, 18x9 +42 Superspeed Wheels with Falken Azenis RT615K+. Its flush af! And yes, Even though its a 200tw hard sidewall high noise tire, the ride is so much better than stock OEMs
Wildpeaks replaced my BFG K02s. I’ve got about 15k miles on mine so far and like them much more than the BFGs. Wildpeaks were very noticeably quieter than BFGs, but it does seem that road noise above 60mph has increased a bit as the tires aged. Not sure why that is. Wildpeaks seem to have better wet and snow traction as well.
Old technology. They're "good" but there's a lot better tires that you can get. Rt660s are great, but if youre on a budget, the rt615ks are good too.
They are/were shit tires. I can't believe how fast ours wore out.. replaced with falken wildpeak.
I don't know the full story but a local Golf R owner is dealing with DSG issues with his tuned MK8R right now. Dealer thinks it needs a new mechatronics unit or a completely new DSG.
