I've read a lot of articles about bomb cars that have these tires. My budd has them on his prelude sr-v and he hooks up nice on the strip

Great for corners and street use, suck for drag racing.

I've read these tires wear out quick on regular street use, any truth to this? I'm stuck between these falken and the bfg kdw's and want the tire that lasts the longest

Falken Azenis RT-615 tires have a tread wear of 200. Mine have about 20,000 on them and will probably make it through one more summer. I only expected maybe 15k out of them and that have far exceeded that so far. Now the RS-A's that came on my car only lasted 30k and have a tread wear of 260, they did however last longer than a set of KDWS tires that had a 400 rating.

i believe i read while researching the good year gts that the tread ratings between different companies are not the exact same. So a 400 from Goodyear will not be/mean the same as 400 from Toyo or another company. it is best to compare these numbers of matching brands.

^ That is true however it will be fairly close.



As for the azenis, yes they are a great sticky tire for relatively cheap. They are not all that good in a straight line, though that is to be expected. In an autocross, they tend to become a little greasy as they get warm. A spray bottle of water between runs works wonders keeping them cool.




Joe, how could I forget you stealing my car...@!#$! Though it has happened before...



Go Go OG Traction!!
