but my question is... I wanna get Falken RT-615 205/50/15's cause i heard they are the ****!
in a couple months, but i really don't know how long they will last me? My car is daily driven.
I don't wanna be buying tires every 3 months, but in reality i don't really know how long there
gonna last me? Can someone help me? Or atleast recommend me some better tires or anything?

I'd take Kumho Ecsta SPT over the falken ziex-512 anyday, but not over the Azenis RT-615. It all depends on weather and general road conditions.

The RT-615 are good tires from what I read. I have the older RT-215 on my AutoX wheels, and they are pretty soft, great on the turns. Great track tire for me.

Since those tires are performance tires, they are softer and will not last as long as your regular run of the mill all season tires and other kinds. It also depends on how you drive. If you check Tirerack.com, then you can look at reviews on how people like certain tires.

Although, I dont remember if TR.com carries the Azenis, but whatever, other tire sites have the same kind of thing.

Also, this probably should go in the Tire forum. Just for next time you have a ? about tires

i have the same tires on rims but once you put power to them they will not last but for now i get them for $214 for a set but good for daliy driving

the ziex's sucks period...i had them before and they just dont grip that well...in the dry its actually okay but if u drive too hard they will start sqeaking and you'll lose traction....in the rain they just suck...i'm going 70mph and i can feel the car slipping...this is when i have about 80% tread left on all 4 and its not even pouring...the tread wear is good but if you drive aggressive these tires are not for you...another pro about these are there side walls...they are pretty strong, i accidently went through a pot hole and about a finger of the side wall ripped...luckily it didnt get too far in to the tire...the tires i would recommend would be yoko avs es100's i have them now and wow what a difference...in the rain i finally have confidence in my tires...o and im running 205/50/15's...on the ziex's and yoko's...
