Falken RT-615.. alternatives?
God I love these tires, but jesus christ. Everywhere I go (EXCEPT Falken) tells me they are on backorder for like 2 months. I have them up front, but have not so great P6000s in the back.
I was finally able to get my hands on the other 2 tires through ringing necks...
Is there anything else comparable in case this happens again?

I want RT-615s 
.
I'm on RT-215s now. I seem to remember a few places out there that had a good amount of 615s in stock, but I can't remember where.
What size are you looking for?

I was able to get mine after calling Falken, finding out they had some in Cali, then calling Discount Tire and getting them to ship them from Nevada.
Appearently a Tennessee wharehouse that stocks these things is behind and people like to ship from that place for East Coast orders. I'll wait a week or 2 for tires from the west as opposed to up to 2 months for tires housed more "locally".

-Falken Azenis RT-615
Treadwear: 200
Traction: A
Temperature: A
Speed Rating: HR
-Hankook RS2 Z212:
Treadwear: 200
Traction: A
Temperature: A
Speed Rating: VR
-Advan A032R:
Treadwear: 60A
Traction: A
Temperature:
Speed Rating: VR
The A032R is a great tire, but is a racing compound. They're not suited for normal driving and would probably wear out faster on the street than at the track. The Hankooks look like the best because they look like they'd handle wet situations somewhat better. They also kinda look like Advan Neovas.

Of course. The Advans are race compound which puts them in a different league.
I'm looking at street tires that offer optimal performance though.

I wish they'd make them in 225/50/15. I wonder if they could make me forget all about my bfg g-force KD's. which are the stickest street tire i've used to date (treadwear 200 or higher = street)
