Default Azenis Discontinued?

So i went to tire kingdom, and the warehouse said that the Azenis is now discontinued. I don't understand why, i thought they came out with a new design?? What else can i buy for a good price/traction?? The BFGoodrich radials are said they last for 10-15k miles for 100 a piece? No thanks.

I'd be amazed if they did discontinue them. They've been selling like there's no tomorrow.

they are having new azenis come out soon, better wet traction. so yes the old ones will be discontinued.

I thought that this happened already, when everybody was running out of them like a month ago.

Hmm..I don't think the guy would call right in front of me and lie. So is it discontinued or not?

They run out because they sell like crazy.
These Azenis will not be discontinued (if at all) till the new ones come out.

Smart business practice. Falken is not dumb enough to discontinue a tire( that sells well) when its replacement is over 3 months away.

Me I'm dd'ing Azenis in WA state waiting for the rainy season to start

I doubt that Falken would decrease dry traction in favor of wet traction, so I would be willing to bet that the new Azenis will be better in all aspects than the old ones.

Ditto.

I just hope they dont jack up the price. Maybe the price of the old ones will go down when the new ones come out. *scratches chin* BUT, the shops might even jack up the price because they are the last ones.

I'll take dry traction over lost surface area. Do the speed limit and use common sense and you'll be fine in the rain, puddles included.
