Better for what?

A simple Google search, a trip to the manufacturers website, or Tirerack.com could answer any specific and or technical question you have.

Tirerack even has a great rating system and customer testamonials for every tire they carry. I don't make any tire purchase without reffering to one or all of those sites.

Unfortunately all you will get is personal preference here too.

The simple way to figurte out what has the best traction is by thier treadwear rating. That is the tell-all of a tire's traction capabilities.

But again, the manufacturer has all the technical specs on thier websites.

S drive would be a nice performance tire that would be focused on dd and long life duration. IMO

And for max grip, there are better tires out than the 615. At least from an autox point of view.

But I am no TOUGE driver.
