Summer Tires! Options

[terqui]

With my tax return check ill be buying a set of some nice sticky summer tires. The issue is, I dont know what to get. Right now im looking at these two options...

Falken RT-615



or

Proxes T1R



Any experience with either of these tires? Also im planning on running a degree or 2 of negative camber on the fronts.

if you don't want to be replacing tires every other summer get a high performance all season tire. those high performance tires are nice and sticky, but tread wear is usually below 300 usually around 250 or so. the all season high performance tires are more like 400-440 tread wear. manny's advice is great michelin makes a ver nice tire.

i agree. The grip is awsome on the summer tires, but you will be replacing tires literally every other summer depending on how much you drive on the wheels.

The falkens will be almost gone by the end of one summer alone. Tires like those, bridgstone RE-11's, Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 star specs, The new Kumho's, all those Ultra hight performance summer tires are basically designed to be a street-legal race tire. But the wear ratings are mostly no greator then 200.

Find some high performance all seasons. Good grip, and they will last hella long. Unless your putting your car to the ultimate test on the track, you wont feel the difference.
