does anyone know where to get the old falken azenis 205/50/15 prefer brand new? from what I know they discontinued them for the new model but I heard a couple places still have some

 

Start calling places. Some warehouses still may have a few. Classifieds, Ebay......etc

May I ask why you want to go with the RT-215 as oppose to the newer RT-615?

Price. When Falken changed this tire, they jacked up the price by 50%!

 

Actually, the new ones are actually a bargain as prices have dropped significantly. You can get a set for 400 shipped from Vulcan tire as well as other places. In this size the price per tire now ranges from 80-95 or so dollars.

That was true at the time of its introduction. And then they lowered the price this past January.

Right before the old Azenis RT-215 was discontinued, Vulcan was selling it in 205/50-15 for $74/tire. Now Vulcan is selling the new Azenis RT-615 for $77/tire.

And the RT-615 is a significantly improved tire. That's not just my opinion, but also that of Grassroots Motorsports.
