I just had two RT-615's sized 225/45/17 put on the front of my GTI. Now, with that said, these tires are amazing. I haven't even put 100 miles on them yet and they already grip like crazy. I have minimal wheel spin at 22psi through first, and little to none in second gear. With my Yokohama AVS ES100's I would have full spin through first and second unless they were REALLY hot. These tires provide better grip than those even when they are cold.
I just started using Hankook W404s and they are amazing in the snow!!
This is the second driving season I've had them on my car and I don't have any complaints Great tire for the money...
i personally like the w404 tires....cheap and just as good, super nice on snow and ice....
AZENIS I have had mine just over a year{ still holdin air } and love them maybe one of my favorite tires i have ever had
I run Azenis Sports in 195/60 size. It is a bit taller. However, if performance or street tire class competition is more important, then the Azenis is a good tire. They are THE BEST dry tire around. Wet performance is average.
i'm really happy w/ my decission on the falken 512's.... they've been on prolly 3k miles so far and no problems... and believe me... i have to try REALLY hard to slide out or screetch in them.... also when i torque break for my launches, i can't even peel out anymore, the most i get is a light screetch followed by me being sucked into my seat
I just got a set of Falken Azenis St-115s (225/45/17 from Edgeracing) - only had them on for 200 miles or sobut they are awesome -- so frickin quiet! So tire hum at all!
Around Thanksgiving last year, I had two Michelin MXV4 Eco+ OEM stock tires that were worn and need of replacing. I followed suggestions of colleagues and Consumer Reports and bought two Falken Ziex ZE-512, and installed them on the front of my 1998.5 Turbo Passat Wagon. Although I kept the same size (195/65/R15) I was impressed immediately: much better handling, steering response, road feel, as well as seriously improved wet and dry grip. Extremely stable at 90mph+ speeds, and good cornering. After about 1000 miles however, I thought I had front-end or transmission problems, as there was this terrible WHOO=WHOO sound coming from the front. I took it to a shop and they said no trouble, just tire noise. Noise worsened, so took to VW dealer in Maine while on the road; they said that car was aligned perfectly per spec, but Falken tires were \"cupped\", and worn on the inside.
They turn to hockey pucks on cold enough pavement, snow/ice aside. Winter travel on 615's is a death wish.
