Default Need new Tires.

Ok I need new tires for my AP2 V2s.

They are on my01. I drive daily and would to start doing some Auto X this year. I live in South FL so it rains a bit. But from others I've spoke to the RT615s aren't terrible in the rain, just not as good. I've only had experience with the RS2s. On my OEM 16s and my fathers MR2. Any insight or suggestions would be great.

I'm looking at :
Falken RT615: 215/45F - 255/40R - 1.4" Stagger
Falken RT615: 225/45F - 255/40R - 1.1" Stagger

Falken FK 452: 215/45F - 265/40R - 1.7" Stagger
Falken FK 452: 215/45F - 255/40R - 1.5" Stagger
Falken FK 452: 225/45F - 265/40R - 1.2" Stagger
Falken FK 452: 225/45F - 255/40R - 1.0" Stagger

Hankook RS2: 215/45F - 245/40R - 1.1" Stagger
Hankook RS2: 225/45F - 245/40R - 0.7" Stagger

Tires others have mentioned: Kuhmo MX, BFG G Force Sport

RE 050A Pole Positions are better than any of those tires and the RE 01R's are better still.

price between 050,01R and RT615 is a huge difference

The OP never mentioned a cost limit.

Hell, put some Cooper All Seasons on it then, they're cheaper still

Ya well I guess for those who don't realize I'mm looking at lower priced tires I don't have a small fortune to spend on tires that won't last.
