Extreme Contact force was also one I liked, but the price tag was too much higher than the 615k. I've also had great experiences with the Maxxis Victra VR1.

I'm personally in no rush, these are basically dedicated track tires and track season doesn't start until late April for me so I can definitely wait for availability if I need to. I'm looking into options now so that I can make an order in February or March and there should be no issue with me getting them before I need them.
I watched the video posted by @
NoHaveMSG and read the guide posted by @
strat61caster and are both very helpful and now has me considering the following:
Rival S 1.5 for ultimate pace
RS4 for long term running costs
V730 as a middle ground which is the tire I'm presently leaning towards
I know the video review places the V730 on par with the RS4 but that review just does 5 laps then gets out and swaps tires. The written guide and other in depth reviews suggest the pace is similar to the RT660 after noting that some adjustments to pressures and driving style were needed to reach that.
