Those were the two glaring faults I noticed.
What is wrong with Falken FK510?

It's really not a track tire. It's a mild UHP summer tire, the type of thing you'd daily drive and take to the canyons. I cross-shopped that tire with the General G-Max RS when I was looking for some mild everyday summer tires to put on my stock wheels to avoid wearing down my expensive 200tw tires by doing too many street miles on them.

The RT615K+ is more of a track tire if you're going with Falken, or the new RT660.
