Long time Falken user here- the 615’s last forever, and give you great performance value. I recommend these tires to newer intermediate drivers that are starting to need something grippy, but not too grippy that it starts to cover up your mistakes / become a crutch.
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
I have always had a great experience with Falken tires. I’ve recommended them many times but I do wonder if something has changed in the last few years to their formula or manufacturing process?
Falken Wildpeaks are the worst A/Ts I've run. Hard as hell and sketchy in the rain. I only had 20k ish miles before I sold them, but they were progressively getting louder.
Mine were down to 50% tread and didn't have enough traction on snow at ~20k miles. If you drive on serious snow, consider getting rid of them by 15 to 20k miles.
