In the autocrossing community I mean. Where the most serious are shaving & heatcycling the current RT215. And where favored teams often get first, fresher, and sometimes unique stock. We've seen spy shots of the new Hankook and Avon but keep getting spun in circles by Falken. Their reps at the Revitup were clueless and corporate has been very tight lipped.

The treadpattern's not the big story, but the compound & available sizes. Too limited sizes and the traction goes away once heat is added.

Hours later and still nobody on my other boards have picked up on this if it's indeed true. :attention

 

can you post some links to the other boards you are talking about im curious to see what they are saying.

 

Ok, now I've heard everything. Back on 9/10 I hinted at how competitive even amateur autosports can be. Today the news breaks public on the other Falken tire, the FK451. Seems although nobody's been fast on these sofar, when you shave off the outer tread you find the RT215 compound hidden below. Seems at least 3 Natl autox competitors have been testing these at local events.

Today the info breaks 24hrs before Natl competition is to begin. So if you're willing to sacrifice treadlife you can now choose the RT215 in not 6 sizes, but 45

Hey slammed 95, were did you buy your wheels from? Ive been looking for these at a decent price but they are hard to find. Also I had the 451s on my 19s until I sold em and they felt pretty good but what are you guys saying about them?? Im confused...
