Found what appears to be a good deal at Vulcan Tire.

Availability: In Stock - UT Warehouse
Estimated Delivery: Thur, Aug 12th to Fri, Aug 13th
If Ordered Before: Today, Mon, Aug 9th at 12 noon ET
$83.00 ea.
Has anyone seen a better deal??
Based on Andy's testing, it seems that the Dunlop might be the better tire. You might want to consider it.
True but reading on the interweb about OZMDD's success with the 615K's make ya wonder how valid the FWD testing is vs. NC testing..... ;-)
Anyone other than Jimmy got an opinion on the 615Ks??
I think that OZMDD like them (they're what's on his cheater car)
(ugh you knew that though... reading is fundamental)
OK Anyone other than Jimmy and Mr. Can't Read got an opinion on the 615Ks?? ;-)
How many AX'ers are running those vs. the Star Specs? I'd buy the Dunlops before I'd buy those.
You happen to have a link to that write up? My Google skillz seem to be weak tonight.Quote:

I would go for the dunlops but both are good choices.
But they are only $83.00 ea. I wonder how many of us skipped the Azenis K because of the high initial prices......Quote:

Check with Treadzone. Call them since I do not think they are listed on their web site.Quote:

Thank you for your order
You will receive an order confirmation with an order number by email. You will also be notified once your order has been shipped.
Falkens are stickier. They have to be kept cool, though/ I understand the dunlops are similar in that respect. I really like the crisp handling of the 615K's.
I spent the extra $48.00 so I could be like the cool kids.....

And painted the rims!
Nice.
Off to A&T Tire Co for mounting? I was just there on Sunday.
There is a place on Hwy. 10 just up from the world headquarters that I have used in the past may just have them do it.Quote:

You should have painted them gold.

He went with the Dunlops. I've run both Azenis 215 and 615 prior to getting the 615K's I currently run, and I can tell you they are substantially grippier than the older versions, maybe grippier than anything else out there, definitely more than the Kumho XS or Star Specs, but they do get greasy when overheated, and they are hard to cool down. I think a shaved set would potentially be a little better about heat-tolerance. Last month's GRM has a good write-up about all of these tires. Hope that helps.Quote:

figured POS had driven them as well
They were just run of the mill 615's I can't say I was all that impressed with them. YMMVQuote:
