My friend had the hardest time trying to get Azenis from anyone here in WA. They'll tell you that Les Schwab has the rights to them here in WA, but when you call them they tell you that they gave those rights to Sears. And when you call Sears they'll tell you they're on back order. You can bitch you Falken USA, but they won't do anything. Your best bet is trying to get them from a smaller online retailer like JHP.
My best guess on the whole situation is that Les Schwab carries Ohtsu tires. Falken is a performance subsidiary of Ohtsu, and Ohtsu has a certain product line and contract with Les Schwab. So that's probably why you can't get the Azenis here, it still doesn't explain it completely since they sell other Falkens. It don't matter anyhow, Ohtsu is getting jacked because Les Schwab will sell you a Toyo no matter what.
Try to see if some Discount tire will get them for you. They can order them into another Discount and then do a store transfer. It's a loop hole, they might not tell you they can do it. I've heard that it's been done before from some sources. I'm lucky I got mine before Discount figured out their website wasn't blocking online buyers.

The only thing that is ok about les schwab is free beef.. and even that isnt so great...
But personally I love my proxies... I hate the price, but they do the job.
I had falkens awhile back, seemed they wore out pretty fast. But then again I was young and did alot of burn off's then..
