My first gut reaction to the spec tire was disappointment. Mainly because I know nothing of the tire. I certainly have less enthusiasm about this.. lol

My WRL team (endurance racing) used to run the older 615K's on their Lexus SC400 and they liked it quite a bit. Falken has since launched the 615K+ and I've heard lots of good things about them from my fellow WRL racers.
As others have mentioned, this tire is not on the pointy end for autox (like the RE71R), but it is still an excellent tire, and is supposed to last a long time. Time will tell if the tire grip falls off over the life of the tire or not.
The only disadvantage is for those of use that run in local classes that are based on PAX. Hopefully the SSC PAX is adjusted appropriately for this tire.
