What are you going to use them for? Street tires or some kind of competition

Btw... you need to run a spell/grammar checker on your signature...

They are a good tire... I have seen people just use them for autox's and i have seen people use them on the street. I have heard no complaints from people that have them, seem to be pretty damn good but i think i am going to get these next week....

Haven't decided yet, need to consult the car gods, aka WRXRacer111, and Shultz...hahaha

The MX's have not come out yet. They have been advertising them for a while now. I would not hold my breath either. Kuhmo is know for being VERY slow on the follow through. The new Ecsta V 700 was suppose to be out 2 years ago.

As for the Falkens, they are a great tire for autocrossing in STS. They are a little loud and are more prone to hydroplaning than others for street driving, but not horrible by any means. They are very good for the price. You may have a hard time finding that size though, the 15" are in short supply. A lot of places have them on back order with no idea of when Falken will resupply.

Id like to dispute that azenis are prone to hydroplaning. I did not get any sense of hydroplaning with my Azenis on stock rims with 14". With AVS-i, now thats scary.

Eric,

Just wanted to let you know that my 195/60R-14 Falken Azenis came in today.

Can't wait to get my damn car back.

take care,

Yeah I wanted to get a set of these too but after an email from Kumho stating that these would be out Mid April, to meet the SCCA cut off point for new ST tire accpetance, I don't see this happending. No one at Discount Tire Co has a clue to what these are and when they'll be out. Even Tirerack.Com took down the presale page for them. So I just got another set of 712s, after all I do have Azenis on my other rims so I'm still happy.

Oh Azenis are a super wet and even better Dry tire!!! These tires rock hard!!!

I just got mine mounted today. After driving home on these, I can't wait for you to get your car back either , you're gonna love 'em. I can't believe how grippy they are. Of course at my skill level it doesn't really matter how grippy my tires are, but hey, I'll take lower times any way I can get 'em.

Doctor CorteZ

I got a interesting story about Falken's

I just bought new tires about a month ago.... I debated between "Falken Azenis"
and "Kumho Esca Supra 712's" for months, did all my research.. still couldn't decide which....
anyway... I stopped in a Discount Tire Direct one day (best friggin tire store ever)
to check out a deal on Kumhos. I asked him what he thought of Falkins.
He told me not to go with them, but the only bad thing he had to say about them was that they were made by Firestone.
I was skeptical and figured that he was just trying to sell me on something that he carried... but I bought the kumho's anyway...
A few days later, on my way to pick up my new tires and rims, I almost hit a shredded tire in the road. As I brake and wait for the traffic jam to die down so I could switch lanes, I notice the unmistakable tredmarks of Falken Azins.
How ironic....

who knows, before that I had never heard anything bad about them.... actually I heard they were a lot better then kumhos, but then again I also heard that Nitto was better then Kumho. So, well..... I guess I'm probably not much help....

Tyson

Although your story may seem ironic in your head, Falkens are NOT made by Firestone. Falken is a marketing brand of Ohtsu rubber which mainly does truck and large vehicle tires, and is also half owned by Sumitomo tire company, which also has partnerships with Goodyear in which Ohtsu/Sumitomo even makes some of Goodyears tire brands.

Just correcting wrong information.
