The RT-615's, Which I am currently on, are SO bad in the rain.

Hehe, PS2's were on my list man, PS stands for Pilot Sport. Hence the Pilot Sports 2's on my list.

RCZ listed some very nice tires, but most have limited sizes with no offerings in 19s.
Yeah I was thinking about that, but thought about including them anyway...like the RE070s and the direzzas don't come in the right sizes unfortunately.

Being an ex-tire designer, I only use Michelin, BFG, Bridgestone, or Yokohama for anything street performance related.
I have never tried the KDW's, might give them a shot. I just really wish they made the Direzzas in 19. The thing I was wondering is whether there's a real point to changing the stock street tires. I mean...The RE050s aren't terrible, they aren't dangerously bad. The way I look at it, I don't need to go superfast on the street, I'd rather have a less grippy tire that has much more accessible limits that I can have "fun" with on the street. Then the track will get dedicated wheels and R6's.

That should save me some $ too When I kill the stock tires, which should be around 10k, I'll consider a set of RE01R's...
