Vulcan Tire has the lowest prices, however they are perpetually on backorder for 205/50-15.

I ordered mine from Discount Tire Direct 2 years ago and was very pleased with their service.

Try edgeracing.com. I was searching around online for prices on Azenis for my friend's SE-R, and with shipping charges calculated (from FL to OH) they ended up being the cheapest. He got his Azenis from there, and I'm currently waiting on a set of Ziex 512s for my MR2 that I ordered late last week. Edge was cheaper than Discount Tire on those too, and thats considering the fact that Discount Tire's warehouse is in the same state I live in.

Discount Tire Direct ground shipping is free, but 15" Azenis are $74 each IIRC.

But have you calculated the cost of tires + shipping from Vulcan? It's not a huge difference.

And you don't need to buy their valve stems.

Yes but if you buy the tires from discount (whether it's online or at the location) doesn't that include mounting and balancing. I thought it did.

I remember after my azenis got sent to me (from vulcantire) I called discount to have them mounted and they said, "well, since you didn't get them from discount they will be 15$ a tire for mount/balance (standard fee).

So if I paid 308$ but got free mount/balance I would think that's a great deal.. Can anyone clear this up for me?

I just ordered them through Discount tire for $285 shipped to new york. They first told me $308 shipped I asked if they price match and they said yes, vulcan was $288 shipped for 205/50/15 they beat there price. Too bad Vulcan is on back order. never hurts to ask

If anybody is in the Los Angeles area, I've got the phone number of a guy who says he can probably do less than 275$ per set for 15's if you pick them up. Maybe as low as $55 each if you buy 100 of them.

I think I paid 252$ shipped during the ford focus group buy thing that discount had. I'm guessing thats not happening again.

big bear tire has a group buy for our pittsburgh autox meassage board.

email them with a title of "FALKEN AZENIS GROUP BUY" and then call and give your credit card number. i think the price is 67 shipped for 205-50-15.

I don't know Phil's specific prices. But he has stated multiple times that he'd be as competitive as possible for HT racers.
Call and ask. It couldn't hurt.

And always remember that even if Phil is something small like $2 per tire more, you are supporting a fellow H-Ter and Honda (SCCA and ECHC) racer with that extra couple of bucks. And you're also getting fantastic customer service. Phil will not let you down when it comes to that.

I just ask my local tire shop if they can price match so-in-so's prices. Almost always they can or at least come close enough to make it worth my time.

Yep, I second that for Phil - I get my Azenis from Phil just last week - he got them for me in 3 days & he'll help you out too!

The Big Bear groupbuy was organized by a guy on the StreetTouring list. I got my 205/50-15 in 2 days

Details below.

Jim


------------------------------
OK, here is the final pricing I got. The groupbuy is thru Big Bear Tire (www.bigbeartire.com) in Oconomowoc, WI. If you are located in WI you will need to pay sales tax, for all other states see the shipped prices below. For those of you that are local (WI) and want to pick the tires --- the price above will include mounting, balancing will be an additional if needed.

195/60/14 -- $50 shipped
205/50/15 -- $67 shipped
205/55/16 -- $90 shipped
215/45/16 -- $102 shipped
225/45/17 -- $108 shipped
245/45/17 -- $122 shipped

To place your order you need to email Marty at Big Bear Tire via mail at marty.bbtire@choiceonemail.com . You need to have the subject line to be Falken Azenis Groupbuy to get the prices above. Include in the email your Full Name, shipping address, the size and number of tire. If you like you can include your CC info in the email, or you can call them with the info AFTER you have sent them your info. This will help them keep everything organized.

We need to get a group of people to contact him before he will begin to give this price, so if you are ready to order please do so soon so we can get tires out to everyone. For those of you that are local and want to pick the tires --- the price above will include mounting, balancing will be an additional if needed.

If you have any additional questions you can email me back, or you can talk to Marty @ Big Bear Tire.

Feel free to email this onto other to get into the GB....
