So far at 1000 miles they have performed phenominal.

They don't grip as well as a A032r that I had previously, but they do grab slightly better than the Potenzas that I had.

What I like about the Falkens is that they are quiet when compared to a A032R.

Also, at the limit they will give you sufficient warning when they start to break away. Not a grab and snap like a Potenza.

I'll update as the miles increase.

Oh, and at $160~ for 255 and 275 40 ratio on 17" this is a great price.

 

That's what I'm running in the same sizes now, too.

The 255/40-17 fronts seem to be a pretty good match for the 8.5x17" +40mm wheels -- they don't bulge out and I haven't had any rubbing yet. I was a little worried the wheels would be too narrow and/or they would rub before I had them installed.

I'll post some more impressions after I put some more miles on them, but so far I am very pleased.

i love falken tires. im hoping to have enough money to get some new wheels wrapped in azenis this year. i've got the regular ziex on my honda right now and they're great for $45 each.

 

I'm running 17x9 ft and rr.

 

I have about 500 miles on my 615's ( 275-40 & 225-45-17) Great tires for the cash. I got mine before they went up in price and paid 153.00 for the 275's....pretty cheap considering the tyre

 

How do they compare to the old ones rt-215?

 

There hands down a better tyre. There better than street tyres, but not as good as a DOT track tyre is the best way to describe them.. There quiet and heat up alot qucker than 215's
