Bang for your buck, the 615s can't be touched except perhaps some take off RE070s.
If you look at last year's results from ST classes at nationals, there was a mix. Trophy positions: STS: Bridgestone, Falken, Falken, Khumo, Falken Bridgestone, Falken, Falken, Falken, Falken, Falken, Yokohama STS2: Falken, Falken, Khumo, Falken, Falken, Falken, Falken, STX: Falken, Falken, Hankook, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Falken, Khumo, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama STU: Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Bridgestone, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama, Yokohama You could go Yokohama, but at about $100 more per tire, I would go R compound instead. |
I'm curious about contingencies for Bridgestone vs. Yokohama. The dominance of Yoks in STU particularly makes me think people picked them based on that.
<- wants RE01s. Also Derrick, you can't count on your tires staying sticky for the whole year. And if you know for sure that you'll buy 2 sets, going with the RT615s might be the best choice since 1/2 way through the season, fresh anything is better than half-2/3 used anything as far as the top street tires go. You would also be sure to get a full season out of 2 sets of shaved tires, which would be the optimal setup I think. |

Another reason Yokos were so prevalent in STU, is that the optimal sizes were available, vs. some of the other manufacturers. (Or maybe that was non-turbos; the turbos may have been able to get either in the 245's.) Yokohamas are more $$$, they are a good tire, but so is the 615 for the Subaru. And that said, I want to try some RE01R's this year too. |

Stupid question incoming....DUCK!...
Do they shave the tires mounted on the wheels or off?... Ok, it's save to look now. |

Also I'm considering shaving my tires this year, since I don't want to heat cycle them to death with street driving.

Plus, if Uncle Sam doesn't get off his ass with my refund, I will be starting the season on them myself! :lol: |
I'll be running the same 615s I had last year, seeing as how I've got less than half a season on them. . . :|

Well, now that I'm on race tires, can I start complaining about the street tire pax???? God help us.

If your tires can handle it, it would be interesting some afternoon to swap tires between our cars. Though they won't be exactly the same size, it would be interesting. |
I had a dream last night about Yokohama Neovas. Is this a sign?

I'll be running last years RT-615's this year. Less traction is more fun anyway. :P
