I ordered a set of these tires before they were discontinued.

I ran them at a recent event and these were the most amazing tires I've ever run on. For my set up and power level they were perfect. I usually run Feddy 595's but they take a while to heat up and sometimes they chunk if they get too hot. The ST-115's wore perfectly, no chunking and they didn't multiple runs just to heat up.

So since they don't make them anymore I'm trying to find out what model replaced them or if there's anything out there comparable to these

Drifting or track driving? ST115 are a very... medicore summer tire.


For track driving I'd recommend something like a Nitto NT05 or Hankook RS3. The Federal 595RS-R seems like it might be decent, but I don't have direct experience with them.

I had the RSR-R's and had zero comlaints of them in regard to a street tire, and MAYBE one HPDE a year. They got super greasy, and the brakes easily overpowered them. For the price of the Hankooks anymore, it's hard to beat. I'm admittantly undecided to go with NT05 again (which have served me well) or to go with the RS3 for the next set.

I'm guessing this tire replaced the st-115

Was thinking of the RS-Rs for our chunpcar since they're cheap. Doesn't sound too promising. I think NT05s will be what we go for.

The replacement for the ST115 and GR Beta 451 tires were the Falken FK452, which were also a large jump in price.

For a similar tire you're looking for the PT722. It kinda sucks because it doesn't come in 215/40/17.

If you're running anything wider there is a wide variety of sizes and profiles available.

Panther IRI 5s are the best replacement..Their best feature is that they never chunk.
