ITRCA

I'v had 1 set of 215's and 4-5 sets of the 615's and I rarely had any complaints. I wouldn't mind trying out the 615K's since the others have served me so well. I would like to try out some different tire compounds for comparison purposes.

I pulled the trigger on the XS's today.

as did I

I see what you did there....

What are XS's?

Did you read the OP?

Sorry, didn't even realize they were one of the best options to go with.

My student has 16" XS tires last year. They impressed me, but I didn't drive the car.

Actually, I think given just how awful those tires were you did really well, even with that T10 thing. There's only so fast that you can be on rocks like that.

At least it was entertaining...lots of sliding. We were sliding on the no-helmet laps, that's pretty sad!

I have updated the initial post with the (old) Tire Rack test.

Is there a way to embed video with the current site software? I would like to post the Tire Rack video.

Thanks for that. Makes me consider the cheaper Direzza's over the Re11's. I think comparing those results it's between those two for me.

I would love to get a collaborative effort on tire information here. Users chime in with personal reviews of XX tire or with advice/tips.

After having RE11s, I can't see myself using anything else, but the Dunlops get great reviews, and you should definitely consider them. Dunlops win for price, but the RE11s are an EXCELLENT tire.

All this talk about "better" and "best" I think is a bit misleading.

My understanding is that all the tires I'v listed here are better performance wise over the Falken Azenis 615 (old technology now). However, the 615 was a fabulous tire. Many here have owned multiple sets and been running them for years. So all of the tire options I'v mentioned here are going to be good options. The majority of us here are not competing in any way shape or form. Judging by the Tire Rack test they all perform within close margins of each other for the most part. Price really is the deciding factor IMO.
