I need a second set of wheels, so I can have street wheels and play time wheels or a sweet DD. Right now its tires are going to run me about 2.2k a year if this keeps up. I go out to patterson every once in awhile, but that road bores me now. Only tire that might last longer and still compare with RT615's would be the Bridgestone RE-01R's and that would cost me over $900 per set. F that. I really just need to flare my fenders a little more and run less camber.

Falken RT615's with -3* camber at all 4 corners. Camber causes uneven heat transfer and kills the tires faster than normal even with my Toe at -.25 all the way around. Pretty awesome for track/auto-x/mountain roads. Sucks for everything else.
