You guys both make valid points but we have to remember that 99.9% of the people on this board use their focus as daily commuters first and foremost. Mitch your car is the exception to the rule. I agree that those falken RT615 are an unbelieveable tire. My comment about
''will provide adequate traction and that will last long''
Was meant as the following. I personally have a very mildly modded car so I don't really need the RT615's like you do. I can get away with the Ventus K-102's because they provide the adequate traction I need. If I went with the RT615's then I still wouldn't have anymore traction than with what I have now because my car cannot perform outside the boundary of the lesser tire. Also if the RT-615 is only going to last me a summer and the ventus 3 summers then I would definitely choose the ventus tire. They provide the adequate traction and lifetime I need.
You wouldn't put RT-615 on some grandma focus now would you. They would never drive faster than 60km/h. They just need something they won't have to worry about.
