oem bstone re050 - awesome dry/wet grip, lasts 15-20k easy.
rt615 - excellent grip, some people experience fast wear
kumho mx- excellent grip, 12-15k to be safe and could use more.

bstone re01r - excellent dry/wet grip. not sure how long they last.


if you don't mind dropping $ on rubber...i'd stick with re050. awesome all around, superb dry tires that'll last you. im tempted to try the re01r, but i don't know how long they last...i heard awesome reviews on them though

out of the ones you listed I would go with the t1r. it last longer than the rt615 and has better grip than the fk452 while still being able to handle rain.

I beg to differ, i just had the t1r's on my car and experianced the car going into abs with dead pedal just driving on the street, let alone on the auto-x course. Also had the car dart all over the highway with the lines in the road. I'm coming from rt615's where i got 8500 miles on them with 14 auto-x days 5 runs each day with 2 of those days having a co driver. The rt615's dont follow the lines in the road the way the t1r's do. Needless to say i went back to the rt615's and i've been happy ever since. And that was 3 days ago.

If you are going to be autox the car I would go with the new BridgestoneRE-01R. We have guys that are running street tire class that won't even go if they don't have this tire on the car. We turned over 1G on the skid pad with this tire.
If I can help let me know.
