I 2nd the Kook RS2s..max perf with better wet handling then the RT615s.

For MAX performance the Neova or Bstone RE01R...but the Kooks are a better tire to use on the street for cost reasons.

the thing is i don't want rt615's cause they do NOT like the cold ground/slick rain in the winter time.
i spun way too much last year and that's what caused me to hit a curb lol.

keep them coming! i heard the re01r are good.

If you don't want the RT615 b/c they don't like cold ground then the RE01R is NOT going to work for you. If you're looking for better rain handling in the same class as the RT615 and RE01R give the Hankook RS2s a shot:
