Does the Falken RT-615 245/45/17 fit on B7 A4 w/S-Line susp. (I've STFA but want to be 100% sure)

Default BuddyDog - I think I parked next to you at ALMS Laguna Seca, see the picture.

BuddyDog, cross checking with your Point Reyes picture and my failing memory, I think I was parked next to you at the ALMS Laguna Seca Audi Corral. Is this your car below on the left?

A very small world if that's so.

See you (again?) in Monterey in March.

I wouldn't be that hard on the RT615s. depends on how you use them, as with any tire.

Default There are tiny triangles around the edge of every tire...

that show the manufacturer's recommendation of how far the tire should roll over. If you're scrubbing past the triangles, you should add air. You can use these indicators instead of marking up a tire with chalk or whiteout.

Default Agree with your assessment. I lapped our A4 with Hankooks 225s and TT with Falken 235's and the

615's can hold on to temps. The z212's were very consistent lap after lap. The RT615s had more initial bite, but after a few laps got greasy. Great for AutoX though, unlike the z212's which need a 2-3 driver car setup to keep them hot.

Temps actually get too high with a 2 driver AutoX, but you have opportunity to water them down
