Falken makes them.

I don't know about famous per-se but they're well known I suppose.

They're pretty good, you get what you pay for with them.

They're pretty expensive, you can get them at http://www.discounttiredirect.com , http://www.edgeracing.com , or ebay.

They're not exactly the best "drag racing" tires because the sidewalls are too stiff. They're better known for being good for road racing. I set the old style they're ok, there's better tires out there in my opinion.

True dat, they're nice for daily drivers. Personally I'm running bridgestones, but whatever, lots of good tires out there.

I've heard that before but haven't really been through 'em from new to worn so I couldn't say for sure...

I've had my RT615's for almost a year now and they have been great to date! You'll have to rotate them frequently to get the best tread wear usage out of them (every 3K) I will however say that they are now starting to get a little noisy on the Freeway. Paid $100 per tire mounted and balanced (205/40/16). I wish they had them in a 205/45/16 a year ago These tires are excellent for dry weather conditions, I only use them in ideal conditions.

why do you make 2 topic asking the same question in 2 different sections. I answered your question in the wheel/rim section.

Btw Wrong forum!

You obviously have no ******* clue as to what the hell is going on...

1- Buy an 18" tire if you want. It won't fit.
2- You need a 205/40/17

205 = tread width in mm
40 = aspect ratio
17 = the rim size

If you don't know WTF I'm talking about, go to Sears or whatever and have them slap whatever they have on the car.

That's some signature worthy bullshit if I've ever seen it.

No.....

Take a 195/50/R15 tire.

195mm is the width of the tire's tread.

50% of 195mm (around 97mm) is the height of the sidewall.

15" is the diameter of the wheel.

So, your height would be 15" + 97mm = 18.8"
