I can't believe they make those in 19's, I think that's a first in R-compounds.

Those are my next tires !!!!! I was waiting for them to finally make the compounds in 19's... I knew it was only a matter of time. I hope that falken will learn from this and make the azenis rt-615 in 19's as well. So do you guys think theyll make diff width's soon ? I could rock 295's in the rear for sure... but for up front they would need to make some 255's or somthing like that.

What is the treadwear rating on these?

Reason I ask is because I was to get into doing some of the Redline Time Attacks when they hit the east coast and want to run in the Street Tire class which calls for a street tire with a tread rating of at least 140.

EDIT: nevermind I found the rating. It is 100. And jeez those things are expensive lol.

This might be dumb question but could I run these 295/30 in the rear while keeping my yokohamas in the front ?? Will I get the benifits of the R compound tire by having them just in the rear? This could be a good way to save money concidering they dont even have the right size front tire for my 9.5 volks.

And can u rock these everyday like the falken azenis .. or even in the rain ??

Personally, I wouldn't mix them. You see all manner of threads here from people having strange problems because of mixed brand F/R tires, or even new/old tires of the same type. While mixing street tires is bad enough, I definitely would be afraid of doing it with high performance tires.

I wouldnt run them on the street and i wouldnt mix them. These tires have specific operating temps. If you own tire warmers, these tires are for you.

Can you please elaborate on why you wouldn't run them on the street? I currently have the toyo T1r's in 245/35/19 and 285/35/19 and am looking for two new rear tires that can provide me the best traction for having a 19 inch rim. BTW, my Z makes 631 rwhp and I generally drive it on weekends (not in rain) etc. Traction, as you can imagine, often eludes me. I was going to try to get 2 new T1r's for the rear, but it looks like these tires would provide better grip/traction? 295/30/19 isn't that far off from the T1r 285/35/19 that I currently have. And, BTW....how long would it take for me to receive tires in Michigan if I were to get tires from you? Thanks in advance.

Azenis RT-615 is not an R-Compound.
