AnyBody Riding Falken Azenis

[southside]

I have been looking for some better tires.I recently check out falken azenis I read the reviews and now I want your opinion.If you have them how do you like them.Do they wear fast and how do they grip lmk.:goodjob:

[SampaGuy]

Waste of money if this is for daily driving.

[EM1toEVO]

^ Why do you say that? They seem to have decent reviews. A lot of evo owners run them on their cars. I've never used them, but I do know they aren't the greatest in the rain. However, how often does it actually rain in North Georgia, lol.

[00CelicaGT]

they are great in dry weather and ok in the rain. just watch out for large puddles, cuz u will hydroplain. i have had mine on my car for about 8k miles and they still have about 75% tread life left. they have been on 2 mountain runs and this really curvy back road i take to work everyday, are still going strong. these tire are byfar the best tires i have had on my car, they grip verywell in dry weather and fair in the rain. these tires are not for drag racing they are designd to no break traction so if ur out there street racing dont waste the money cuz it will only cost u ur tranny.

[wantboost]

what do you want to know about them? what are you planning on using them for? i have driven w/ them on three different cars (240sx, svt focus, fit) my opinion is they are good for the price ) i think they are a waste for DD/no track days.

Falken Azenis RT-615's are as good as Yokohama Advans I've heard. Tread wear on Falkens are about 200 which won't last as a *DD* setup. Alot of evo owners use them for track and dragstrip. They're alot cheaper then buying a $200 dollar each tire of Yokohoma Advans that oringinally come on our cars...

[Thighs]

azenis are the absolute best dry street tire you can get that us still reasonable for daily. they last a reasonable amount of miles, grip VERY well, and are decently comfortable.

just be VERY careful in the rain, because they do not evacuate water well and hydroplane easily. as long as youre careful in the rain you should really really like them. i reccomend them.

[LokiSays]

yea when i had them they was sticky.. but didnt last that long as a DD.

[Kyle]

I have em on my wheels, my car is too slow to tell how good/bad they are. But its a smooth ride, they wont break the bank either.

[southside]

Yea I found some 14's for like 350 but Im looking for 15's

[FRYLOCK]

lilburn tire falken 912 ziexs i got 205 50 15 for 340 out the door

[wantboost]

^the 912's are crap and not even in the same category, you can get the azenis for about the same $

[MR.EM1]

are u talking about the AZENIS RT-615? which is a drag radial not the best for DD unless u plan on taking tight turns on the streets.

:thinking: :rolleyes:

[jdm91t]

They are definitely not drag radials.....

The rt-615's are great tires but I think they have a 200 tread wear rating so they won't last forever, but they are really sticky and have stiff sidewalls. Also they are a very reasonable price considering all the other tires in its class. I also had the eagle f1 ds/g3 which had a 280 tread wear and the azenis seem to be lasting longer. They are much cheaper too, I recommend them %100 as long as your aware that you will probably only get 12,000 miles out of them. They are quiet and ride well too.

One of the worst tires for wet traction, too expensive for a sub par 200 treadwear radial. waste of money.. if i were to pick between yokohama parada spec 2 or azenis, i wouldn't think twice. yokohama has my vote.


i'm still pissed the parada spec 2 isn't available in 15'' applications.

[Humphrizzle]

for a very inexpensive tire, I'd definitely recommend the Kumho Ecsta AST. 50 dollars per tire is a price that cannot be beat when talking low profile tires.

400 treadwear, great responsiveness, heavy stiff sidewalls and 50k miles if driven carefully.

Here's a link to reviews, prices, and ratings for the tire.

Good luck!

bridgestone RE-01

[Humphrizzle]

bridgestone RE-01

Great tires..

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Potenza+RE-01R

not a good street tire from low treadwear but probably one of my favorites.

[matthewAPM]

I have tested on the Falken RT-615, Bridgestone RE-01R, and the Toyo R1R and have found this....

The Falken is a STREET tire. It can take a beating on the track but once it gets some heat cylces on them, they get hard and fall off.

The Bridgestone to me is the best tire EVER. Takes the heat very well, TONS of grip (about 1-2 seconds over the falken on a 60 second course), they last a great period of time and are amazing in the rain

The Toyo is kinda hard choice for me. They offer an amazing amount of grip, but dont last as long as the bridgestones. The toyo has about .1 or less on a 60 second course over the bridgestone BUT, getting that .1 will be hard. The toyo doesnt have the consistence that the bridgestone has so getting that little bit wont happen every event. again this is all my opinions of the tires.

[lim2015]

i'm on my second set of these and i love them, they grip like crazy. the dont last very long but i just love the grip. i'll probably try a set of re-01s next

[Gorilla Eg!]

BEST TIRES MONEY CAN BUY.....I am on my 4th set!!!! ( 2nd set of 2 cars )

CHEAPEST FALKEN TIRES ON THA PLANET!!!!! www.vulcantire.com

wow falken ziex 912 are great for crusing tire dumbass want boost

[matthewAPM]

wow falken ziex 912 are great for crusing tire dumbass want boost

no one cares. he is asking about a performance street tire...not ur POS tires that you got because you cant afford azenis...

[Thighs]

wow falken ziex 912 are great for crusing tire dumbass want boost

shut the hell up. nobody wants to hear about your ****ty 912's and how you "think" they are just as good as azenis. they arent. in fact, they suck c0ck. 912's are decent for all-seasons, but they are rock hard and have a ****ty tread that offers tons of squirm and flex. azenis st-615, toyo ra-1/r888, and bridgestone re-01s are on a completely different level.

[00CelicaGT]

Ok and as to the drag racing part.I've got drag radials that abuse my tranny alot more than azenis will they are stick too but not made to ride on Daily.

no because D/R's are made of a different compound of rubber.:goodjob:

there's better tires out there, but they are more expensive (the mentioned re01rs and the advans, etc), unless you're competing in some autox class with these tires, hard to justify those costs, IMO. rain traction is fine, as long as you watch out for puddles and don't be an idiot driving on the streets in the rain (something you should be doing anyway).

on track for me, they got greasy after about 10-15 min into the session in a 3000lb car/driver (225 width), but I'd like to think ;], or so I hope, that I'm smooth, ymmv. I've also heard widely varying accounts of how heat-tolerable they are on track/autox, with the only sure thing being that they're definitely more than the old rt215s and less than similar tires.

if you're after sticky street tires that don't cost an arm and a leg, these, or the kumho mx, or the hankook rs2s will be your best bet. personally I'm keeping an eye out for the next time tirerack has a big clearance sale on the kumho Mxs.

I still think it's a pretty good track day tire, even when greasy the fall off in grip, although noticeable, wasn't that bad, still was decently grippy. as being heat cycled to death.... I guess we'll find out.
