Just saw this press release from Falken Tire:
November 6, 2009
Falken Tire is proud to announce the launch of the new Azenis RT615-K. While the original RT615 proved to be a dominant force in the DOT approved and truly street functional competition tire category, we’ve decided to make it even better.
The K in the new RT615-K can have many meanings but none describe the second generation 615 better than KAIZEN.
By definition, this Japanese word means "continuous improvement" which precisely describes the newest edition to the Azenis lineup. Visually, nearly identical to its predecessor, the subtle K on the sidewall is the only tell tale sign of what lies within its completely revised tread compound.
Although taking uncompromised grip to the next level, the new RT retains a 200A/A UTQG rating, still making it eligible by nearly all “Street Tire Class” competition sanctioning bodies.
Other familiar features adopted by the RT615-K include an 8/32nds molded tread design, light weight casing construction and high tension carcass resulting in superior grip, improved handling response and high speed stability.
With 21 sizes ideal for a wide range of today’s most popular applications, the RT615-K is refined on the track and bred for the streets.
At Falken Tire, We Get You Going!
I gotta say, it was pretty impressive that the Falken cars were able to be competitive when there competitors on Hankooks, Maxxis, Nitto's, and Toyo's were running much softer compound tires.
This should heat things up on the Drift track and in SCCA competitions! 2010 is going to be nuts!!!
