Tires Falken or MRF

I was in the same boat as the OP, and went with RT660s.

660 is good bang for the buck. Not as fast as the top tier tires but two or three times the lifespan.

I went with fallen 615+ not the fastest but should last a good number of runs

I'm in a similar boat as you I did the 615k's last season. Personally I am overly pleased with these tires they have been everything I've wanted them to be. And I'll probably get another set of them this year.

The 615k+ is a great budget tire. I did my first season on them and got second place in my regions rookie class. Then, I kept them and still use them for less competitive/ higher run count events. I've done 3 schools on them too. I love these tires. They're fun to drive on, take heat well, and just last. They do amazingly well in the rain also.

They are Falken Ziex ZE950 A/S

they have excellent grip

I have 275 AT4 on my 22, they look awesome and rub at full loco reverse driver side only after trimming. What I don’t like about them is they wobble at 50-60 until they warm up. I’ve had them balanced 3 times and it just is what it is at this point. I like them a lot otherwise m

I don't know the full story but a local Golf R owner is dealing with DSG issues with his tuned MK8R right now. Dealer thinks it needs a new mechatronics unit or a completely new DSG.

The brand new Falken tires I got for my 2016 Mini were absolute trash. Garbage tire. Never again.
