Default Falken Azenis Tires

Anyone ever hear of these? A friend has a tires shop and says they are a great tire. Any feed back would be a appreciated.

Do you mean Falken? If so I run the 315/30/18 on the rear for wet weather and they are a good tire, just not good traction for me, but they are safe and my other rubber is Nitto NT-01s for dry spirited driving

Your asking a lot of any tire on your car...

The Falken Azenis 615 is catching on with the autocross guys. I'll probably try a set after I tear the PS2's off. They make the sizes I need 275x35x18 and 315x30x18 and they are about 1/2 the price of the PS2 of which I'm not a huge fan. Another comparable tire is the Khumo MX. I ran a set on my old wheels and they weren't bad. Also take a look at the BFG KDW 2. Nice tires and steer much better than the PS2's.

My $.02

RT-615s? GREAT rubber/autocross tire. (mainly known on the import side)

I was talking to my Z0 buddy the other day and said he runs 315/30/18s and loves them. Maybe worth a shot.

Kevin, you got that right, traction is at a premium no matter what tire I run on the street
