Wow there are too many threads like this. You can't mix tread life and performance.

Get AD07 or RE01 if you have the money. RE050a PP if you want good grip and ride comfort. 615's for all out afforable track tires. For longer life and tread I think the KDW2's or S03's. Or some kuhmos for cheap long lasting tires. Jusy keep reading throgh these threads benny!

I'm in the same boat, I'm looking at
bridge stone potenza RX-01R's, RE750's, and S03's.
Cant decide which to get tho,
I might even mix and match the tires.

I just had the OEM Dunlops replaced with Falken 615's last friday. the Dunlops had 30,000 miles and were just getting to the wear bars. I was once involved in an accident because of bald tires so I just don't push it. First major major noticible change is the noise, LACK OF! I literally had the radio blazing to hear it before, and talking on a cell phone was a next to impossible. The new tires handle incredibly well making the RX a joy to drive once again. By far the best mod I can think of. 245/40-18 $694 installed America's Tire. I know some may say what about rain, two answers, #1 I live in Redding where the sun always shines, and #2 a 2001 Jeep Wrangler with 33" Firestone Destination MT's.
