Given the GRM hype, the 615 are probably an evolution of the 7-8 year old 215. Sounds like better tread pattern for wet performance. 215 were never great rain tires, but there was a noticeable difference between 215's in the rain the first week you owned them, and 215's in the rain after that point. I guess it was a poor treadpattern for the wet because the tires were still plenty fresh.

Only thing about the 615's.... WTF is a W-rating? What happened to the R?

Thank you. I'm not really hard on my car; therefore, the tires either really. I will put down probably a little over 200whp so I think I could get some decent use out of them. I have yet to find anyone still have the old Azenis. Guess I'll wait to hear from people about the new ones.

What were your 60's like? Best was 2nd time at the track 2.309 and that wasn't my best run. 16inch Rota Grids with Hankook HRIIs. I dropped my 60' mostly from not smashing the gas like a monkey and FTL.
