i wanted to purchase these tires but then acouple buddies told me that these tires are really hoppy... and especially on a light car like mine 92 vx they would be even worse...is this true?

 

The Falkens do have a stiffer/thicker sidewall which may hurt your ride a bit, but they also grip the road very well, and are the best tire for the $$$ right now.

 

Mine hopped a little bit but then i checked the pressure and it was only at 25. I filled it up to where its supposed to be and problem solved. Best tire imho.

 

it is the best money can buy, but its gonna last a season

I disagree.

Best tire? Sure, if you consider "best tire" meaning "stickiest street tire on dry pavement". But best for the money? No way. Not when they last 10-12K miles. For less money than the Azenis, you can get the Kumho SPT or Yokohama ES100 and they will last three times longer. So the Azenis is about four times as expensive on a cost-per-mile basis. That's a HUGE cost.

 

hahaha agreed with nsxtasy on this one!

Even dought I can't wait to try my set of rt-615! Autox here I come!

 

my only con with my Azeni's is how heavy the tire is. never noticed any "hoppines"
