Another tire thread, Falken Azenis Options

[Joe Ricard]

Lots of people running these tires yesterday at the AX mostly the 240SX crowd in STS class. Tread wear is 200. I could run to and from the event without changing wheels.

So what is the consensus arond here. going to need new tires soon. the ones I got are nearly shot.

front Yoko 008R really old and hard
Rear Dunlop D60 tread wear rating of 220. makes the ass end slip willy nilly.

Maybe I should reverse this. Probably understeer like a bitch then.

Ofcourse what I should do is "pay the nice man for 4 of the Kumhos victro racers.

The Azenis are a great street/auto x tire for the buck. I've been running them for the last 2 seasons. From what is on your ride now, they will be a huge change for the better. 205 50 15 will fit, but might be a little close to the dust cover on the front struts. A great to and from tire, and a great tire to learn on. Hold off on the Kuhmo's till you know what you're doing. Even with 2 yrs use, I'll finish top 5 overall for street tire times, and top 20 or so for overall. Our club has a huge "run what cha brung" street tire index class, usually 20-30 cars, events will close at 90 for our small lots, 150 for the bigger ones. Its great fun with a 90hp aircooled "collector" plated car on street tires to beat a poorly driven STI or muscle car on stickies. Its even fun to show our brothers with the 911's the tail lights on a tight track. Go fast. Have fun. Enjoy.
