Wait, what? Falken is *finally* going to update their 200TW tire?!?

Boy, those bear a striking similarity to the RE71R. Weird. I just hope there is a 245/40R15 option.
Ehh they'll probably still be a second off the pace.
Loved them but hated their weight.

Or Dunlop ZII which the RE71r looks like
I do like the bi-directionality of the current RT615K but I'm excited to hear about these. I'm still fond of the Direzza Z2 but that's come and gone.
I liked the 615k's. But then again I've never been a pointy end driver that the tire was what held me back.

Me, too. They're cheap, take a beating, and give good feedback. Had great experiences with the Hankook R-S3 as well. But I'm a back-marker and care more about tire feel, longevity, and price than outright grip.

There used to be a rumor that the ZII and 615k were the same compound - is there a relation there?
^^^ BTW, I remember paying just over $50 per corner for the original RT-215 to fit the stock 14" basketweaves on my E30 318is. That would have been around 2002 or so. Tough to beat at that price!

so funny, the RS-3 V2 were my fave 200TW tire.

I'm kicking myself a little bit with the new car. Decent wheel + tire package in 17" is looking at about $1300 (on sale). A year ago I got an awesome package for my older car in 15" for < half of that. :(
