Rhys,
What kind of money did you pay for the 615s as I'm starting to look for some (205/50/15)?

Cheers,

Hmm... I didnt know about these ones, I thought the F1's were top... Might have to find out how much they are, I did have my heart set on F1's but now...


Edit

Now I know why I thought F1's were top, when you go to Goodyears website and click on passenger tyres the F1 is at the top of the list with the Revspec's second, then it goes down through the crappy ones

That's just their product line up.

If you look at the fitment guide, REVSPEC is the top, F1's are the second, which I'm sure they aren't making anymore, so I've been told by a number of people.

The picture I posted is copied straight off their site.

Also, you may have thought the F1's were the top because they were, until the REVSPEC RS02s were released.

Also, if you consult the latest wheels magazine, they have a tyre review, where 17 manufacturers were asked to send their best road tyre.


Guess which one Goodyear sent?

It came in second, but for the slalom part of the test, it won by a long shot.

I think the GSD2's were discontinued but you can get the GSD3's. They are cheaper than the the RS02's and not made in Japan (if that matters).
Have you picked up your set yet PT?

Yeah, had them put on a lunch time.

Give me a couple of hundred k's to scrub them in and I'll tell you what I think of them.

The only impression I can give you at the moment is the ride is A LOT smoother and the road noise is much quiter in comparison to the OE Toyo's.
