I'm about to buy some 15x6" wheels to use at the drag strip. I was told the Falken Azenis RT-615 ($97) grip pretty well & I'm also looking at the BFGoodrich Drag Radials which are about $10-$15 more ($110) >This is the 205/50/15 size, is wider always better such as going with the 225 width? I know the Falkens are more streetable (last longer) than the BFGoodrich but they don't grip as hard. Looking for other peoples opinions

The bfg,s MIGHT grip a little better but the falkens will last a LOT longer and you can use them for the mtns....I havent heard of a lot of people getting better than 2.1-2.0 on bfg's{this can be done on the zenies} . I just like the falkens cause i can drive on them in the rain and take long trips on them..You wont be able to do either on the bfg,s...my 2cent..

BFG drag radials grip ALOT more...ALOT! I've seen 1.8 60s on drag radials by alot of PPL... However they are not meant as daily driven street tires.
Azenis are better day to day all road cond.

I see, well I'll probably end up getting the Azenis then since I'll probably drive w/ them to the track & back .. & they last longer!
