Default Falken Azeni RT-615 tire pressures

Have my first AX in my C5 Z06 this coming weekend. Looking for advice on starting tire pressure. OEM size wheels.

I have never run those, but since you got no response, I'd try 34/30, mark the tires with shoe polish & see how far you roll over on 1st run & go up/down from there. Souldn't be too far off.

If anyone has run those, I'll defer to them.

Adj after each run & take temps if it's hot.

Mfg may have a temp range the tires like if you contact them.

I ran my Azenis 30 front and 28 rear with pretty good success. I never had any problems with them and one of the best bang for your buck street tires out there.

On my C4 they seemed to like lower pressures -- I was running 30/28, and then towards the end of their life 28/28.

In the rain I ran them 38/34 and in the dry I ran them about 33/29. This is on stock wheels 240/275 sizes. Depending on the sizes you are running you will probably have a small tire pressure difference to keep the tires from rolling. With the wider wheelsyou should be able to use a few pounds less.

I run mine at 28/28 (cold) on the track. After a good session they can heat up to 34-36 psi, and that has been in the late fall / winter! May have to start a little lower as it warms up.

Hey Sammm, on a stock C5, I would begin with 32f/30r psi. That's what we run in the TDE Corvettes (Firestone WO tires) the few times we used them on short courses. Keep in mind the Azenis' build heat quickly, and performance falls off when saturated.. You need to keep them watered down between runs, lots of water, not just a hit and miss, and let them stabalize at about 34 PSI. You can adjust up or down a pound or so as necessary...
Good luck...wish I could make it down there for this one...
