I think I'm just going to go with the RT615s but Ive been debating on trying the new kumho XS's

FWIW it'll be on my s13 with sportmax 501's. 215/45/16's

I read the article in modified but Id still like to get a review from some one on here. Id be autoxing every once in a while but mostly street driving and drifting on track.

I hear they are excellent! I guess it is on par with the new RE-11, but I haven't gotten a chance to try either of them out. If the old Ecsta MX was comparable to the 615 (which it was), I would venture to say that this is a better tire than the Falken as well.

Oh and I would read the comparison in Grassroots Motorsports. I would rather rely on Grassroots than Modified (not criticizing your choice in reading material btw).

I used to read SCC and GRM only but I now pick up modified randomly and GRM when ever I can....which reminds me I'm going to go subscribe to them now.

I will go get GRM tonight probably. I just wanted a direct comparison, maybe I'll talk to GRM directly on their forums...

Crap and I found a local wholesaler that has RT 615's super cheap.
