Falken rt615

Blaiser · 07-20-2006, 01:09 PM

Well, i finally bought some tires to replace my bald potenzas and i went with the rt--615s. I got them put on and balanced today and wow, i love the feel of these tires. Does anyone know if the sidewalls are as stiff and the potenzas? they feel like it, i love them.

They both have amazingly stiff sidewalls.

No sidewall is as hard as the 070's. What size did you get? What is your spring drop?

Yep, i just did my first autox on them, and love them. My only problem now, is i can't turn the wheel fast enough

245/45/17. i sat on the tire while there was no rim in it (i weigh 145) and it didnt even bend, i was suprised. i also wieghed them at 28.5 lbs each. i love them, no doubt a great replacement for the potenzas.

The RE070's sidewall is almost as stiff as God is in the morning when he wakes up... *almost*.

245's have a reinforced sidewall while the 255's do not....correct?

yes..

Like others have said..the 070s are more stiff than the RT615s, but they don't come in 245/45 like the 615s...otherwise I'd rock 070s with 245!

incorrect, this is what i thought also since my 245 say "reinforced" on them and my 255's didn't

but somebody contacted falken regarding this issue and they claimed every size's sidewall is just as stiff as the other.
