Does anyone know when these will be available or where i can purchase these tires?

I searched to try and find some info about when they come out etc and didnt find anything Found some info to share.

Low void asymmetric tread pattern with circumferential grooving for high cornering grip.
Ultra fine carbon black compounding for maximum traction.
Ultra wide tread contact with highly rounded shoulders for optimized footprint shape during high lateral loads.
Developed for quick autocross warm-up while maintaining race track durability.
With a Y speed rating, the tire delivers an optimum run temperature of 205 degrees Fahrenheit.

Link?

 

I asked a Tire Rack representative on 7/22/2008 when the 205/50-15 XS would be available and got this reply:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Unfortunately , I do not have any listing for the Kumho XS in this particular size .
We expect to start receiving this tire around the beginning of September .</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

I think i read a post on that tire back in may, i got about the same answer from tire rack. But they didn't tell me sept. I actually think they had no idea what tire i was talking about.

 

I found this. http://sccaforums.com/forums/2....aspx

It said that the price should be similar to that of the rt-615's.

 

gotta love how they only make one 15" tire size and the rest are bigger. aholes

 

If they are going to be simialr in price to the Azenis; I hope they perform nearly as good, if not better.

there tires out that are better than the azenis ... toyo and bridgestone..

from alot of talk the kumho was tested and called the "FK" falken killer

Sorry for the delay in response as there's too much fun stuff to do in Vegas and little time to be in front of a computer.

According to Rick Brennan, a 205/50-15 Kumho XS will be available as the only 15" size. Another size that may work for the EF Civic is a 215/45-16. I believe a 225/50-16 will also be made. There will be many sizes available in 17s and 18s as expected.

I spoke to a chief engineer and he tells me that the Falken RT-615 was the benchmark and that their test driver is consistently faster on the Kumho. Internally the tire has been known as the FK (Falken Killer). The test driver has also been faster on the new Kumho over the Bridgestone RE-01R.

If you're wondering why the one of the circumferential grooves is closer to the outside, it is for better rain performance without sacrificing dry grip.

Construction and design is finalized. Compound has yet to be finalized should be in orderly fashion to meet the April deadline. Cannot say whether all the sizes will be immediately available but time will tell.

Prices should be similar to Falken RT-615 prices which will represent a good deal for such a fast tire.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The only problem is that the Azenis are waaaayyy cheaper than the rest of them at this pont.

beat me to it

 

i wouldnt mind paying for the stones.. they last way longer than azenis... but i see where your coming from

 

IMO, why wait to get these tires when you can get something that works just as well (if not better) for roughly the same amount of coin?

Azenis, dunlop, toyos to name a few.

Seriously, several of these new tires claim to be Azenis killers, with ST* class auto-x in mind, yet none of them come in a usable 225 size for STS cars...

225/45-15 would be fine with me, as would 225/40-16 or even 225/35-17. (Yeah, I ain't givin' no love to the EFs. They already win enough as it is.)

Yes, the Dunlop Sport Z1 Star Spec is available in 195/55-15. $88/tire at the Tire Rack, $86/tire at Discount Tire Direct. The Tire Rack currently has a promotion where you get $80 off a couple of sets of Hawk brake pads when you buy a set of Star Specs.

The Azenis RT-615 in 205/50-15 is $81/tire at Vulcan Tire, $74/tire at Discount Tire Direct.

I'm actually about to order the 195-55-15 z1's for redline timeattack at VIR.

Thanks alot man

I was wanting the kumho for my 16's

 

The Dunlop 15s run 7.9" on a 6" rim
The Azenis 15 205s run 8.2" on a 6.5" rim

Put the Dunlop on the same rim and they will be about the same width eventhough it's rated 195 not 205.
