I think it really is pretty much a wash between the RE070, RE01 and 615s. A new set of any of them will beat a moderately used set of the other. The 615s are still the best bang for the buck, but just barely since they are mail order from Salt Lake but the RE01s can be picked up locally but you pay tax.

As a a side note, if they are going to be your only set of tires it's not a great time of year to be buying max performance summer tires as they will be marginal in the wet and terrible in the snow compared to an all-season on the streets.
