well i had the new tires put on, and just wow. true R-compound with street tread. they are awesome.

the road noise is vertually gone. and the handling is prety damn awesome.

thought i would post up about em, since allwheeldrive guys need all the traction we can get.


RT615`s 235`s vs the 245`s



the 235`s rt 615`s vs the 235`s kuhmo allseasons



kuhmo`s are 37&1/2 inches tall



the RT615`s are 42 inches tall



the new Greddy SP2 is so quite that it is a tad bit louder than stock.

 

So that's the first time I've ever seen anyone measure the heighth of 4 tires stacked on top of one another.

They look grippy as hell though.

 

well i thought it would give a better compairison of how much tire is hitting the ground

over an inch and a 1/4 per corner more with the 615`s....

and yes, they are grippy as hell.





but they wont last long

 

Yeah, it makes sense. Just an interesting method of measurement.

 

Whats the tread wear rating?

 

I have them on my car and the sidewalls are really stiff too! Just a bit oily when at the heat limit on the track

 

tread wear is 200

200

Edit: beat me to it by mere seconds...

 

ask any real street racer? win by an second or by a minute, winning is winning

 

They are awesome, just be careful in heavier rains.

 

yea, 75 is the max i will go on the freeway in the wet.... and if it is raining i go slower..

 

i have the same tire. 255/40 on my 17x9 rims. awsome tires. couldn't happier.

 

Any side profile pics from farther away?

 

WTF ?? this tire are awsome in the rain also, they got 8.5 out 10 for wet traction. unless you can't drive

 

not with these tires, i will get some tonight, these were quickies befor work
