"i dont like it. the old tread looked way cooler" -Ricer

 

I have some and they are pretty cool!!!! Even drove the crx in the rain!!!! The last pair was alot harsher a ride also!!

 

are they still cheap? i dont see a price on the site

 

I just got the old set a couple of weeks ago before the new ones were up.

I am sad because

A. The old ones will probably drope more in price
and.
B. The new ones are supposed to be better in the rain.

 

Well, the tread pattern isn't half as cool IMO

They are ~$30 more per tire in 205/50-15.

Funny you would say that!!! I had a guy ask me if I had tried out my tires! He reccomended "Hitting the canyons" to test them out. I laughed at him and drove away!! What a moron!!! Canyon runs

I'd prefer the old ones unless the RT-615 will actually last long enough to justify the ~$30 hike in price.

A note on RT-615 pricing. You probably have noticed that the RT-615 is priced significantly higher than the older RT-215 (Azenis Sport). We assure you this is not an attempt to gouge our fellow auto enthusiasts. These tires are marked-up using our standard, value-minded Falken markup. Falken Tire Co. has chosen to set the price point much higher on this new tire.

I would think Falken is planning on discontinuing the Azenis Sport (RT-215) in favor of a better margin with RT-615.

 

They are cheap!!! Who cares how long they last!!!

people who are stupid enough to buy a 200 or less treadwear tire with no intentions of gripping anything.

 

I guess I'll have to try them out. Never had the money to buy the old ones.

Ill take my Ziex 512s thank you.

 

i was at sema n talked to some guys from falken they said the tire would be lighter n a better performer in the rain....my interpretation...softer side wall n less grip in dry conditions old azenis

 

no 19's = no care

i wanted to try them out..since were a couple monthes away from summer, it would be nice to drive these around with not a drip of water on the floor

make them cheaper!

 

so you guys would rather still have the old azenis..

YES.

 

the older pattern looked like it had a larger contact patch and beefier sidewalls.

no ****?

 

I think all it comes down to is how they preform in the dry. If they can preform better or on par with the old ones I give them a thumbsup for being able to make the better in the rain while holding the dry integrity.
