I did the Falken Azenis (thread here).

I thought they were GREAT.

Extremely difficult to get the rear GS-D3's right now. I had a puncture and have been driving with a plug in the tire for 4 months while it is on back order. Goodyear want me to trade back my set for a set of their RF's I'll just take my chances for now.

Hey bud,

I thought they were really good. I have since switched to ccw 505's with nitro invo's, but think the falkens had better bite...

I had 315/30-18's in the back, and I think they were 275/35-r17's up front.

The 315's were great on stick z rims.
