the 615's never gave me any trouble in the rain, i had an evo with them for all of November and part of December and they were just fine.

 

I guess I shouldn't say they suck in the rain but they aren't near the level an RE01R or Z1 is. Then again both are more expensive with the Z1 only by like $30 a tire.

615 were and still are awesome tire for the money. I noticed they tend to hydroplane a bit but about the same as the stock Advans. For performance the RE01R is damn good in the rain even more so than the Z1's....thats why I bought them. If the Z1 was out though I would have gotten them since they are cheaper and are the tire too have at nationals. Some of the fastest cars at today's BSCC event ran Z1's. Only cars I believe were faster had Hoosier A6's on.

If you plan to run race tires just buy some good all seasons or some RE050A or something for the rain. No point getting a tire that wears quickly if its just DD unless you like to haul *** sometimes. I think the 615's would be good for that. If you want tires that can be DD and tracked and keep up with just about anything besides hoosiers then I would go to the Z1's

 

Sorry to jump in on your thread Chris, but do you know if any tire stores in the area sell dunlop direzza sport z1 star specs? Looking for some new tires myself.

 

np bro.. it okay u can jack my thread.. im very share and listen and learn new something everyday..

I might not get my Evo DD in 2009... i almost paid off my evo yay! just transfer to my Bank loan and change % and payments!

I have shell 1992 240sx coupe, want to build Sr20 and drift machine.. but not now..

im gonna focus on evo and new or used truck (Chevy Silvardo 4x4 crew cab 2500HD diesel turbo 03-09)

Thanks guys for feedbacks.. im think gonna keep find.. i think BF goodrich G force KDW good for DD and small track and winter beat too

 

I got some kuhmo asx's for $300 and they worked in the snow well enough for me. They would be a big no no if you were to track your car, but for dd they are fine and you won't eat up your expensive tires just driving around. They also have a fairly high tread wear rating I think did I mention they are cheap .

 

300$ for 4? u kiddin me austin?

 

Nope I bought them off some dude though. They were brand new he worked at Discount Tire. Aren't the Falken ziex hella cheap also? Plus I don't think something will work well in the snow and track

Also why are you still awake isn't it past your bedtime.

and one more thing you can roll my fenders if you want.


Quick search on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-NEW...mZ190241129091

 

That is pretty good if you can do that how about just cut the fenders out?
