I ordered these on Saturday from Discount and ended up paying a little less than what I had expected. If you can't tell from the thread pattern, they are the Falken 615's in 225/45/17. They DEFINETLY run wider than normal too. It said so on the website but I didn't really pay attention to it. If you look closely at the second picture you can tell the actual contact patch. My friend who owns a pair of Rs2's had already told me that they where going to be very oily for the first few miles. They sure where too, I had to really try and put heat in the tires in order to get it off. I managed to get the fronts done, but the rears are still fresh, and if I turn hard enough the rears will start to glide. But that'll be taken care of by tomorrow though.

Other than that I already love the tires. I can already feel the fronts begin to "track" and the car just feels so much more solid.

yeah, I've been planning on buying a set for a while now. But the hard weather and the shape my oem Yokohamas where it was unsafe to drive it in heavy rain. So I just need my coilovers now, AND, too bad that the Buddy Club RSD's don't have a set date on them too. I really want those.
