I've got a 2000 Prelude and I'm trying to get the most handing out of it as possible. I've gone through several sets of tires on it so far. The 1st Gen Azeni's and Currently have BF Goodrich kdw2's. I need new tires now and, through much research, i've got my desision narrowed down to 2. Toyo T1R's 205/50/16 or the new Falken Azeni's 215/45/16's. The stock size is 205/50/16 but the Azeni's aren't available in it and i can't get the Toyo's in 215/45 which i have been told is the next closes size to stock. The best price i've found on the Toyo's and the Azeni's are right at 100$ a tire.
Which would be best for street/track? Where is the best place to buy?

Thanks Yo!

 

Azenis all the way unless it rain or snow constantly in your area.

Depends on what you want.

Dry traction and handling: Falken Azenis RT-615.
Wet traction and handling: Toyo T1-R.
Treadwear: Toyo T1-R.

If you're using them for the track as well as the street, you probably care only about dry traction and handling, in which case I would get the Azenis. No question at all.

Places that carry the Azenis include Vulcan, Edge Racing, and Discount Tire, all of which show prices on their websites. Because the 215/45-16 size is a new introduction, they may not all show it on their websites, but they should all be able to get it.
