Poll: Falken RT-615 Vs. Dunlop Direzza DZ1 (fronts)

[BuLLeTdrift]

I've been drifting on 615s for about 2 years now, but got new rims, so new tires are in line. I want to go with falken again since they pass all my standards, but a friend of mine said the DZ1 will surpass what the azenis can do. I have no experience with the DZ1, only DZ101 which are no where near azenis.

So i was just wondering if they are comparable, not even close, or much better then the other. input please. thanx.

I have no experience with the dunlop but I know the Bridgestone REO-1's beat out the 615's in testing but cost twice as much for only slightly more grip

i'm getting 615s eff it

ehh thats what i'd say, i don't know much about the dunlops but most have liked the 615s. They grip really good, but they are known to get greasy on hot days after extended use...

True ^^^

a water sprayer fixes that in between runs. but deff tru.

Really?? I've never heard anyone actually do that and eliminate the problem. I mean yea it will cool the tires down but when they get greasy, they stay greasy. I'm assuming your saying do that after every run??

If that works, i learned something new, haha.

[BuLLeTdrift]

i used to do that for AutoX after every run. it deff cooled em down, maybe not so much the "greasy". i was assuming when you said greasy, you meant hot. All i know is it deff helped the performance all around when i sprayed em.

They are both low line tires, but the Direzzas on a heavier car are shot at 10K.

i just saw the older direzza DZ101's damn near explode in just 3 runs yesterday. I popped FM901s in just 2 runs, dunlop let me down yesterday.

+1 more for Falken.

killed my direzzas 101 after 4runs... on a single cam. but they feel so good in the back.

[BuLLeTdrift]

exactly why they let me down on saturday. I'll post a pic of another one in a bit.
