Guys, we're getting the last 176 in existance in later this week!!

Call Jeremy at 1-800-707-8473 ext 428 and he'll get you taken care of.

 

I'm glad they are done building them, there a **** tire anyway....the Toyo Proxes 4 is a MUCH better tire than that damn Azenis ever THOUGHT about being. I have ran both, I hated the Azenis so much I took them off after 800 miles....they SUCK

actually they're a great tire for the price. i think the proxes is $30 more per tire? while i'm saddened to see them go, i'm anxious to see what the 615s can offer.

uhhh... I can't help but laugh.

 

I'll join you Dennis. LOL

Chris @ Tires.com: Do you have some info on the new 615? As in I've HEARD the sidewall isn't as stiff as the older style. Any confirmation to that?

I think it sucks about discontinuing the old style because I don't like the idea of paying more money for the new ones just to get better wet traction when I try not to drive in the rain much.

 

I wish I had money to stock up on the old

From what I've heard they used a new material in the sidewalls that is supposed to be even stiffer.

I'd REALLY like to hear more SOLID info about this.

 

this sucks i was about to buy some, right when im going to get something cool for a good price **** happens! im pissed off, its not going to cost 450 to throw good tires on instead of like 320. I always wonder why these tires where so cheap and good, and so i tought to my self, the falken company is going to sell these cheap first get some VOLUME on sales and BAAAAM! raise the price. i seriusly tought about it and it actually did happen

Nice Right </TD></TR></TABLE>

You work at a Discount Tire Co. in SD? I just got a set of the Azenis RT-215s from the Discount Tire Co. in Miramar off the 805. They were 195 60 14s. Ordered them Tues. night, got 'em wrapped around my wheels Wednesday morning. Do all the DTCs use the same supplier because maybe the Miramar one had some secret source because it didn't seem like it was any hard task for them to get them for me? And it was $65 a tire (including mount/balance/valvestem) fyi.

205/50R15's are a little more popular than that size. We have 730 of the 195/60R14's in stock right now.

 

They removed the steel belt that was found in the sidewall, and replaced with nylon ply and changed the rubber compound in the sidewall. Also, they added more bead filler to help lateral handling.

Mike C. was right, they're as stiff.

 

mike, say hi to adrian for me. tell him its adam from maine

 

How many of the two 16 sizes do you have left?

i know who to call next year then

 

Here is the new Azenis tire info. Two words: Higher price.
http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_rt615_t.htm

 

The discount up here just quoted me $111.30 for one 205/50-15. I have a friend that works at costco so he can install the tires but I still think thats a bit much for this tire....maybe it will be worth it.

 

I have em for 70 a tire......

about 60 left......out of the 180 I am getting tomorrow
