Ok everyone here seems to rave about Falken Azenis because of their stunning price and performance ... unfortunately I dont think they are a regular line here in Oz (and if I can find them I think they'll be $$$).
What tyres are the Aussies on this board using (and how much are they)?
I've been looking at several brands and have been recommended Yokohama A539 (for $181 each - 205/50 15") by several places. I'm at a loss as almost every store has a different idea ... there are so many to choose from and before any of you yanks reply ... I dont think we get the same model tyres as you do.
Thanks
Mike

 

this has been covered really really much this spring, do a search, there was a great thread about best tyres on the stock wheels here a while ago

 

Bridgestone S-02 or S-03!!

 

Thanks Integra Rated R ... but not to be rude but if you read my post carefully you'll note that I mention we don't have the same line of tyres that you do in the states.
I'm really after what the Aussie guys are using ... and this doesnt necessarily apply to what tyres you guys have in the states (as I've found we have different models here)
(I notice that a lot here ... you guys seems to jump to a quick answer without reading the request carefully)
Thanks for the reply anyway
Mike

Mike everyone rubbishes the A539 but this is what I am using and have found them to be really really good. For Drag great traction much better than the Falkens (not Azenis) that I had on my Civic VtiR and for cornering minimal side wall flex etc - so I for one for the ITR at least would reccomend the Smokohama A539

 

A few of my mates have used Azenis and didn't like them... The tread looks nice though! But when I get new tires for my car I'd get Dunlop FM901s. AFAIK cheaper than Azenis and perform better

 

for street tyres go for DUNLOP FM901 or Bridgestone RE711 ( am using them and I like them more than the Yoky)
if you are looking for semi slicks go for Bridgestone RE540S or Dunlop D01J, they are the best, nothing can beats those tyres I can guarantee you.

 

im using those 901s now !! and they are pretty good !!!
195/55/15 $190 !
but i really wanna try those RE711 ! heard they are da **** !

 

advanA032R are nice for semi-slick although i would go for FM901's or RE-711...tough choice between those two!

 

The quote I got 2 days ago for the Azenis <FONT COLOR="#4040FF">Real Sports</FONT> was $195/tyre. (205/50/15). Cheap. You can get it from just about any tyre mart.

I'm on <FONT COLOR="#11D111">RE711</FONT>, they seem to last forever compared to the factory RE010! The steering respone for normal driving seems a little lazy but maybe that's because I'm using a 205/50/15. But performance is pretty darn great, especially in the wet. Worked great on the track until it overheated. hehe.

I'm assuming you're after performance street tyres. I would've said to give the <FONT COLOR="red">S-03</FONT> a try but they aren't available here yet for &lt; 17" sizes. Unforunately there isn't a wide selection of performance tyres for 15" sizes.

Here's the rundown. Dunlop Formula <FONT COLOR="#D18F11">FM901</FONT> or BFGoodrich <FONT COLOR="#C0C000">Profiler-G</FONT> or Bridgestone Potenza <FONT COLOR="#11D111">RE711</FONT>. Cheers!
