i just got my new rota slips in the mail.

i need to get tires. the size thati want is 205-50R15

i am currently thinking about getting falken azenis tires.

they have kind of a low tread wear and i drive a lot.

i want something thathooks up as ood as the azenis or better, but with a higher tread wear. thay all claim to be the best performing tire. which tires would yuo guys recommend? also where to but them

You're screwed then.

Azenis treadwear isn't that bad. With street driving only, you should get a good 20,000 miles out of them. That's not bad at all, considering their low cost and excellent grip.

Just be careful around any standing water.

They don't really compare to the Azenis IMHO.

ES100s grip only marginally better than Kumho 711s/712s.

There's also the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 and Ecsta MX . I'd go with the Falkens or Yokos myself though.

 

Just get the Azenis. Cheap tires with MASSIVE grip.

 

azenis are good inexpensive tires but the BFG drag radials are far superior as far as traction but they are$$$

 

i use the yokos as street tires and they do pretty well as far as grip is concerned. i use azenis for my race tires right now and they are defenitly more gripy than the yoks but will not last as long. your choice man

i run on A032r love them... handling and last pretty long.. what is your goal for your car... road racing ... drag racing... that makes a dif.. azenis are sticky but not good for launching.. side wall is to stiff for lauching.

just doing daily driving? yokohama avs es100's

 

go for the azenis

 

the car will not have any primary function. just think a little of both. i have tein suspension and i want some tires that i can take will allow me to make good use of it. i will drag luanch only every great once in a while. i do mostly highway recing. not by choice, but by demand. i'm allways on the highway. i pretty much thought the azenis's were the way to go i just thought i'd see if any one else had some advice.

thanks guys

 

when its all said and done no street tires will be better than slicks for drag launching and thats a ways down the road
