Should these tires be warmed up like drag radial at the track?? Just somethin im curious about because im about to get a set.... TIA...

 

i hate to break the news to u, but azenis arent drag radials. they r STREET TIRES, which means meant for the street.

 

he says in his post that azenis are not drag radials, learn how to read before posting

it was just a question, i didnt say they were drag radials, but who knows. They could have better traction after burning out. And if you think im a rice boy then IM B18C5-EH2 and ask him. You dont know me so i dont see how you have the grounds to call me that. I didnt ask a question like how will my clears and my graphics look.....

 

yeah ill get right on that. tom is about as opinionated as i am. as if i care about who u know or what tom thinks of u.

maybe u should read a little slower. i said u should have posted it in riceboy corner. once again i didnt call u a riceboy. learn to read or u might consider switching to a female genetalia because u seemed to have twisted what i originally said. thank u, have a nice day.

 

if i post in a rice boy corner then im a rice boy...

 

to answer tha mans question, unlike others, no, in my experience and working at a drag strip, azenis don't need to be heated, some do it, others don't. but from my experience with these tires, i got better 60's without heating them

 

Put my tire pressure to 30psi and got 2.2's all day. No water box, no dry burnout. Just set the tire to 30 and dropped the clutch at 3000. They do have stiff sidewalls and you get wheel hop if it is cold or the track is cold. They are not drag tires but they do grip .

i dont think with azenis heating them will help much. they are so stiffly constructed that the tire pressure or heat will not afftect them too much.

 

you my friend "hondaatwsu" are a faawkn moron. dont reply to a post if you have no info to offer or help in some way. didnt your inbreded family teach ya this?

 

look at where he is from. if that doesnt explain it all!!!

 

I know in a road race app. these tires will grip more after a hot lap or too. They will seem to grip a little better when warming them up. Why dont you try both ways and see what works best. You guys need to take it easy. I think the question was perfectly warentable.

 

Guys, keep the tone down.

 

I have a set of Azenis on my car right now and like many people said, "they are street tires." There is no need to warm them up. The best thing to do is to probably drop the tire pressure.

 

relax...there is no pride in being a *******...people just loose respect for you

i find no need to warm up my azenis...consistant 2.2 with out really trying

MySlowTeg-

hey you work at sacraceway eh...

 

how does everyone like theirs for higher hp apps? im stuck if i want a set of thme for street tires, or just rolling on drag radials all the time , ******* no traction sucks ***. i wish i could roll slicks on the street

 

man... i really DID NOT like using my azenis at the drag strip. dont get me wrong, i LOVE these tires, just not at the strip. i know many people that love em, use em everyweek. in my highbrid accord, all that happens is HOP. i mean bad wheel hop, enough to force the tranny OUT OF GEAR! sheesh. i went two weeks and got so tired of putting my dam radio back in the slot after it flew out the slot. ill stick with nittos i got for the drag strip.

 

i had these on my 94 coupe with b16a/ nitrous. i ran 2.1- 2.2 all the time on or off the bottle, i just did a quick burn out to clean them off. i ran my pressure at like 25 psi or so. I never had wheel hop with them though

 

ya see i dont know what the deal is, because my friend with just a b16 ef uses them and loves em. then there are a bunch of neon guys out here that swear there the best things around... i dunno, maybe i have too much torque

 

first off, if u guys want a war of words go right ahead, have fun. second off u guys both r from the south. need i say more???? as far as the moronic comments goes, i think both of u that have advertisements for your business , a business that u work at or business that u deal with just shows the lack of business skills u both have. now thats what i call intelligence.

 

your business skills i can tell already, being an *******.....

 

who's asking? cuase if it's a cute girl then yes, but some dude...uuhh nah

 

hey guys, a little off base here...but I have been trying to read up on some past threads for some new tires, and narrowed it to azenis, or...Yokohama AVS ES100 ....but, at tirerack, i only see the ES100's offered in 195/50VR15...i have a 2000 teg ls...and my stock size is 195/55/15...can i go with an alternative size? if so...how off base can i go?....i figure you guys should know this. Thanx guys

Eric

 

this is also a bit off base, but so is every other post, so... I heard a formula that for every tenth you take off your 60', you gain two tenths at the end of the track. Is this about right? Does that mean that if I get my 2.37s 60' time down to 2.2 or so, I can expect between a 2-3 tenth drop in 1/4et? Thanx
