is anyone running the azenis with higher hp cars? ill be getting a set soon and im curious, especially if they will hook in 3rd and 4th gear with 450 or so whp...ive already concluded that 1st and 2nd are a total loss


edit: size will be 205.50.15 and using omni drag coilovers in a 2200lb hatch with a gsr trans/lsd

 

i want to know too. thanks

 

From a roll they hook about as well as BFG DRs, until you get some heat/miles in them and then they get hard and start to suck.

From a dig... they have super stiff sidewalls. From a dig you are better off swapping on dry rotted generic 175/65R13's that the junkyard gave you free they are so deteriorated.

Great mild turbo streetcar tire, though.

 

there no good ...in third they spin and i only got 374whp..i would just get some D.R.

 

Sounds like an alignment problem. I've been in 330 whp 1900 lb short wheelbase tin cans that hooked in 3rd on Azenis.

 

They were great with my turbo b16. The tq cam on very smoothly (no BC and a little boost creep= traction control) and held 200ft/lbs until 8300. I could usually get about 80% hook up in 2nd and 3rd would only spin if I was going over a bump or cresting a hill. this is in a sub 2300lb hatch.

You are right about that. I love the tires and have ran them for a few years, but they sure as hell dont perform well from a dig at the track most of the time.

 

they suck, just get bfgs

 

yeah i will probably get bfg's in the future, just wondering for right now.

this is solely for street use, ive got 24.5x8.5x13's for the track

 

for all you people saying they suck remember they are NOT a drag tire... ive seen people run 12.50's with them though which is not bad for a RR oriented tire with decent tread life...
