what do you think is the best tire for the street? Ive had Falkens before and they grab pretty good, unlike Michelins (piece of shiet).

 

no question. Azenis are top notch

 

yo, i wouldnt compare those two dog...

a better comparison would be the kumho ecsta MT or MX or wuteva, vs. the Azenis...

NOW that's a matchup (i havent heard anything from TRUE owners of the mt/mx, but they r supposed to rival the azenis)

 

SO TRUE!

 

azenis hands down. theres no contest. BTW i have both.

 

Street: compromise between performance and durability. So these tires are not comparable. Depends on what you need.

 

yeah thats whut i thought too. AZENISs... i voted for em on my own poll. hahah some dude was tellin me that Kumhos were the ****.. so i just wanted to see what yall thought.

 

i just ordered the azenis so u better be right playboy

 

dont they have two different types of Azenis....

azenis RS and?

which one is the better one

 

Kumho's last longer than Azenies I believe. But I'm getting Azenies myself. lol

 

The treadwear on the Kumho's is great and they kick can in the rain, but overall the Azenis will walk all over the Kumho's from a performance aspect. Those are definitely the next tires I'm getting (Azenis).

 

Kumho 712's are excellent for just everyday normal street driving, but calling them "the ****" is pushin' it...lol.

 

Can someone post up a site that has the Azenis for a good price? I've been searching for some today and so far I've found them for $252 (all 4 w/o shipping... vulcantire.com). Also, my brother has the Ziex... how do these compare?

comptechgsr, the 2 I've found are the RS and the ST115... from what I've read, I don't think the ST115 are available in 15 or 16, and they're supposed to be better... but don't quote me on this

 

I had some type on kumho's they where ****. I have azenis now, ******-A, I feel like i could drive straight up a wall.

 

haha so far these guys have said so too.

 

For those who have the falken azenis..... how long does the tread last w/ normal daily driving and minimal track use? Is it a soft/intermediate/or hard rubber compound? and how does it handle in the rain? IF some one could answer my questions, that will be my deciding factor on my next set of tires... thanks

 

no question kumhos suck

get the azenis

 

Everytime I drive my car, I wanna kill myself because I bought 712's -- the worst tire I have ever owned... My stock Si tires were better

 

The disadvantage the Kumhos have over the azenies could be their thin firewall. Kumhos squeel in hard turns.

 

http://www.tires.com has the Azenis' for $280 shipped I believe.

I love my Kumho's...theyre leaps and BOUNDS better than the stock tires. Treadwear is pretty good, grip is excellent in all dry and rain...I'm very happy with the Kumho's, especially at the price.

You people just like the Azenis' because of the tread pattern

 

Right, Falken lowered the tread rating to 200.

I bought my Kumho 712s at the time the Falkens were unavailable and those horrific Michelins were going bald. A couple of guys I know have / had Kumhos so I went what those based on what they said. The Kumhos are leaps and bounds over the Michelins, obviously, but I have yet to get be a set of Falken Azenis. The Falkens may be my next set but its not etched in stone. I think they are both excellent tires in their own right. It all comes down to what you will use them for.

Azenis are way better but Kumhos aren't as bad as everyone makes it.

 

what size tire do you buy for the gsr 15's the saw blades.

the regular 195/15/55 or another size.

What would you guys recommend.

These will be daily driven and tracked also. Also are they loud tires ? How long to they last under normal conditions w/ going to the track maybe 1 once a month.

 

i have the Kumhos 712's and i like em but they arent as cheap as they used to be, the price has come up about the same with other tires now so ill probably try the Azenis or something else next

 

Azenis!! I wish I can afford a damn Yokohama A032
