First I have heard of them. I would be more comfortable with them as track only rather than daily driver. The tread pattern looks questionable for heavy rain and the manufacturer's comments concern me.

I have the first-gen 615s on my 55 for track days. Stiff sidewall but get greasy after 4 or 5 laps. They are a better Autocross tire.

My next set will be nt01s or R6s

I've had RT-615's, albeit not on a C63. I'd guess they're on par with Nitto NT-05's - excellent dry tire, somewhat compromised in wet, and will wear out quite rapidly. Not quite as aggressive as NT01s or R888s, but close.
