Never used it...

Its an old compound. I bet the RT615 is better... and cheaper.

id say get them, you cant get falkens in 14s, and thats a good price

[drifter_for_life06]

anyone got experience with this tire or any of the Ultra High Performance Advans?

[nismofly]

i dont on 32's i do on 48's and loved them, but like russell said theyre a much newer (re: better) design

i hope youre not planning to use these for anything but auto-x and track days, because theyll last probably about 800 miles on the street, these arent UHP, theyre R compound

youd probably be better off with like a toyo ra-1, seeing as you could get used to them because youd be able to run set after set instead of running 1 set and having to switch again

anyone know if i would have problems running a 205/60R14 on a Stanza wheel? The rim is 14, but is the 205 too larger?

[nismofly]

205 is width, not diameter

what size are the wheels, like 14x5.5 or 14x6?

[drifter_for_life06]

yes i know its width

edit: they are 14x6

[Juujai]

sure you can fit a 205. we fit 205s all day on 15x6 stock wheels. im not sure how big the sidewall should be though. 60 series sounds but but it is a 14".

i'd say if you're on a budget try the kumho or hankook r compound tires.

are you really sure you're ready for race tires anyway? in autox it'll toss you into a really competitive class.

[drifter_for_life06]

i decided against anything special since i need the tires asap

went to Sears and grabbed two Falken Ziex 512's instead. Should do fine for now on the street i guess ill wait for track wheels

[nismofly]

start on the track with something less than r comp advans, ill be running either kuhmo ecsta mx or falken rt615 this summer

youll be able to get used to your tires going away and stuff, its better experience
