wondering how these 16 inch Azenis perform in the track? will I lose time comparing to 15inch? any openion ?
thanks in advance!!

 

I ran them, they did fine. I think you'll do better than the 15's, simply because thet've got a shorter sidewall.

 

thanks... I will try them in the track ! 16 has shorter sidewall, but they are heavier than 15

 

george k does, but he has'nt been on ht or he would have replied by now.

 

Hey man, you will lose time by using the Azenis, period. If you want to go fast on a track, but competition tires, like the Kumho Ecsta V700, Yokohama AO32, or the Hoosiers. Azenis are a high performance tire, not a racing tire. Even though the 'tread pattern' looks cool on the Azenis, that doesnt matter as much as the fact that the Azenis uses a less-sticky tire compound. They aren't expensive, i.e. $110 per tire for the Kumho V700. Try it, Holmes!

 

i used azenis at the tracks and my times were identical to when i was using RE711, and the RE711's felt better.

 

They feel great on the track, I have driven cars with both AO32Rs and the Falkins. I had just as much FUN in both cars. Its all about the FUN.. Give them a shot. Its a great tire for the $

George, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you just said. The Azenis will squeal, letting you know you're pushing too hard. Plus, I feel the same way about 15" vs 16". Well said. I run 15" because they're lighter, and because they give me a much better tire selection, including all competition tires. I couldn't care less about 17" rims and the bling bling factor.

 

thanks for the replies guys... I'll go for Azenis for both 15 and 16 because I'm a beginner in the track, and maybe A032 for next year
