Is anyone running these tires yet? I've heard a lot about the Falken Azenis wearing down in less than 15,000 miles and I would like something to run at the track that is a little more durable. After reading the Yokohama site's info page on them I am fairly impressed but, I would like to have opinions from people that actually use them. Thanks a lot guys!

 

i love mine... they are THE ****.... i've got a set un my 5th gen that i've had for almost a year now (i got a set when they first came out last fall)..... and i am rough on some tires, i am always doing burnouts, donuts, e-brake drifting etc. they have still got good tread to them and they stick better than anytire i've ever driven on too. i liked them SOOOO much that the first thing i did to my Integra after i bought it was put a set of Paradas on it.

I just got a set of 215/40-17's for my 'lude, but only got to ride on them for a day before it went back up on jackstands to get worked on But during that day, I've got to say I like them at least as much as the Yoko A520's I had on there before.....the A520 wore out quickly (100 miles of roadracing didn't help either) in like 12000 miles or so, so I wanted something with a little more of a treadwear rating but still sticky (and I don't plan to roadrace on this set of tires either).....so I'd say go get them! Anyone have some opinions of how they do in the rain?

When I used to autocross I had some Khumo vitoracers, a nice hard compound and lots of contact patch. They lasted a whole season and they are great lil road holders. Or you can try Yoks a520s they a lil cheaper. Just as good tho. Or go for some bfgoodrich comp T/a's and shave off some of the tread for all out road holding tires.

 

nice tires last a long time but they suck in water. always hydro in puddles from sprinklers. and they arnt that sticky

 

i strongly disagree with that..... i've never had problems with them in water.... the spec ones didn't do as well in the water, but the spec 2s are just fine, i've had no problems

 

I have the Spec2's and I've also had the regular ones (which I believe they do not make anymore). So far the Spec2's are definitely better than the originals.

 

Where is the cheapest place to get them? Discount Tire?

 

i gto mine from tire rack, for my 16's on my teg they were under $100 a peice, for the 17's on my lude they were like $120 i think
