Which tire should i get and what should i expect i could get from the milage off of them???? I am kinda leaning towards the Falkens because my brother has them and they grip good.

 

They grip real good but also they are really soft tires and they dont last that long if you are planning on using them as a everyday drive......

 

fz4 will give you good milage but fz4 is like a all season tire basically,yeah you can drive em in the winter too...I don't see them competeing with the aziens in any way.

Aziens are better performance tires.

 

what about the Aziens or Toyo T1-fs. what would you get? and why?

 

I'd stay away from FZ4s based on personal experience...those things are trash as far as performance goes.

 

second that! That is what I have had for the last two years...second set and now I hate them more than ever. FZ4 treadwear 300 Azenis treadwear 200 so you pick. Do you want mileage or grip? Ohyeah just to add I blame my FZ4's for sideswiping a guard rail two years ago. They tend to let your rear tires come around the front too often for me. I had Nitto 555's before...they suck too but they are better than FZ4's anyday.

My vote is like everyone else Azenis or 712's

 

how about some potenza S-03's. They rock, dry or wet!

 

..hey i have them on my 15"Sterns and love them! I have not had a single problem with them what so-ever. But i would not reccomend them for a drag-racing. But for a good all seasonal tire with good grip you really can't beat the FZ4.

 

Thanks guys for the input, i still dunno but most likely the Aziens!!!

 

anyone else??

 

FZ4s are crap. I had a set on my CRX and they never gripped worth a crap and my car loved to hydroplane on them. They are too dangerous of a tire for me to use again!

 

 

FZ4 = POS

I will either get T1-S or S03 if you have the money, otherwise get Aziens but I think they will wear out faster

 

Spelling? Azenis there you go! If you want the best bang for the buck? They will just last about half as long compared to the FZ4's. I have had two set's of FZ4's and will never buy those overpriced POS's again.

 

Huh you guys must get the worst FZ4's out there or something. I have them on my crx now and I like um. They're better then Nitto that's for damn sure, and Parada's (spec 2). Well, based on my expierences with those tires anyway. The Falkens weigh alot though, but good grip. Not better then TS-1's. As for overpriced FZ4's.....$230 for 2, 215/40/17 shipped...hardly overpriced. Toyo's=

 

H22CRX if you have FZ4's on the "track" and make some laps. Then swap over to Azenis on the same track, make some laps, you will get faster lap times. Guaranteed! I have done this going with my 205/45R16 FZ4's to my friends 215/45R16 Azenis running same tire pressures and they improoved lap times by 1-3 seconds on average. Plus the price difference is enough to take your girl out to the Outback a few nights.

 

anyone considering yokohama avs es 100's? im running azenis right now, but i thought i might broaden my horizon.

 

I'm not sayin the Falkens are bad tires, in fact I like them. I was just sayin that Toyos were better then what people thought. Hey Hybrid, so I could go to Outback twice as much then (girlfriend works at Outback 1/2 off everything ). Nah bump that, I'll take extra dough and spend on my car.

 

Forget FZ4!!! Go with Yokohama AVS ES100. They are excellent tires, gripy, quiet, rides good, good steering response, and very nice thread.

Here is my 3 days old Yoko AVS..

 

4thGSi let us know how the yok's work out for you. im really considering getting a set.

 

Man I'm loving it!!!!! I've owned FZ4 two years ago, Kumho 711 ecsta supra a year ago and Falken ziex 512... All those tires are not even close to the performance of Yoko AVS ES100!!! Go get a set and you will not regret it mang..

I am now waiting for my NZO Monza rims....SSR replica's, and Falken Azenis tires. I can't wait for them to arrive, hopefully before the 30th which is my next Auto-X. I am still going to use the FZ4's for transportation - to and from events. My 16" Chrome Enkie "Waves" are so heavy and not at all track worthy. NZO Monza's weight is 10.75 pounds for a 15x6.5, I paid $117 a rim and $78 a tire for the Azenis. I know I could have got the Azenis cheaper, but the tire store where I have an acc. doesn't carry them.
