Default What are you running on your Rotas?

I just got some rota slipstreams with tires already on therm. The tires on them are not good performance tires from what I been told. Im only going to use the rotas for the track or dynoing on other events so I need a good 15 inch performance tire that will grip at the track. I know one of my options are Falken Azenis, but I wanna know what other better options do i have since these will only be track tires.

there are no better options,
unless your willing to spend 3x as much per tire.

the falken azenis are the grippiest street tires you can buy in that pricerange.

205-50-15 is what you want.

Falken Azenis Sports pulled the same 60' times as with nitto drag radials, and has a 200 tread wear compared to 100 of the nittos
only down side of the azenis i found is they are noisy tires on the free way

if BFG G force KD or KDW came in 15" id be on them like white on rice. no pun intended

they are also the grippier tire compared to tires in other price ranges

205/50/15 is the only 15" size available, and the tire actualy measures 219 across

I actually want to find a rather small slick that I can fit on the 15in slipstream and have it tuck under the fenders. Then when I bring it out to race on the street I can just dust people off the line.

Some crappy as Dunlop SP FM901's or something like that, they lasted about 1 summer worth of auto-x, drag, daily driving.

I got specIIs on my new wheels, but my car is sitting for the winter. I have been reading a lot on this forum about how SpecIIs are crap. I have yet to try them, so I dont know if these rumors are true. Do you have any time slips with these tires as compared to a different set? Do you do any AutoX or any type of track stuff? How are they in performance compared to other brands?
