i have the new 615s on my car, never tired the old 215s on the focus but have driven a few friends cars with them on the street and at the AutoX.
so far the 615s are smoother and quieter on the street as well as having strong grip and a progessive break away point. i've only put 250kms on these tires in the past week or so so they are still pretty new and i have barely had a chance to really play with them. it was raining the other day and i did have a chance to push them a little in the wet. no standing puddles or anything but the overall wet grip was far better than the Toyo T1S's and the Kumho 712s from what i can tell so far.
i know the 615s are a better track day tires as they were designed and tested to handle heat loads better on heavier cars. the tread pattern is also bi-directional but still asymetrical(SP) so there is still an inside and outside.
so far i'm liking the 615s a lot.
where are you getting them from and at what pirce? i'm selling the 215/40/17s for $195, cheapest online canadian source i have seen is http://www.tiretrends.com for $199.... i'd just like to know what other shops are charging for these as nobody out here is selling them yet!
