I have to correct you, they are Falken Azenis.
Fulcrum is a suspension mob.

I found the new 615's were more expensive then the 215's so don't take those prices as gospel. I paid $195 for 195/60/14.

Try Gordon Levin tyres at Penrith. When I got a set from there they beat the comptetion by $20 for the set. Not much but worth giving them a call.

Caffeine has also used them. Not sure if they do Falkens but it's worth a shot

Falken 615 I believe is a fantastic street tyre. The RT 615 is no good if you are going to do 30k km in city traffic anually. You're better off with something else.
But this isn't a thread about which tyre is better. If somone wants to have the RT615.....I'll now know where to get it.

3-4 laps of Wakefield Park does it for the Toyo's

I found the 615's pretty good pon the track for short sprints of 5-6laps. After that they did need some time-off. As for the road, they've been brilliant, huge grip, predictable, very quiet and seem to wear quite well. I think for a single tyre to be good on the road, wear well and no go off on the track is a pretty big ask.

I find Tempe are the best with price. I've learnt to call them up and make up a price some $10 - $20 less than my best price and they usually match it straight up.
T1R's don't hold up to as much abuse as the RT215's not to mention 615's, R888's are r-spec tyres, you can't compare them to normal road tyres.

Thats probably why the 215 the ultimate street Tyre(errr was). Its also very good in the wet. Left most street tyres for dead. Kept up with the DO1 at Wakefield in the wet.
Great Article Dubly. I just got this impression you didn't like the Falkens...& then produced this article.
