getting new tires this week and i was wondering if anyone has any input on Falken Azenis RT-615's.....i know they are a great performance tire...but im just curious about a daily driven tire(wet conditions and day to day commute).....or if i should just go with the ever so popular Toyo T1R?


(yes i already searched...found nothing on the Azenis)

 

I love my 615's , but they are only used for autocross and HPDE. IMO they sidewalls are way to still for daily driving and would probably go with T1r's. Wet weather grip is suppost to be horrible too , i havnt driven mine int he rain yet , and dont want to ont he slick azz Vegas roads. Cali roads would probably be a lot better for them in the rain.

 

I'll swear by my T1Rs!

 

^^ me toooo

 

EDIT: nevermind, you are asking about the Azenis, not the FKs'

 

I love my RT615s. One of the best tires I've owned. I have my HKS coilovers set on the stiffest setting so my ride is harsh anyway (not sure if the 615s contribute to that or not). I will say that wet traction with these things is not good. I've had some scares in the rain and I say "no" to snow. I tried to drive in a light amount of snow once and I was scared shitless. The car was all over the place. I had Civics and Mirages passing me right and left.

My next tires will be RT615s again, though. That's how happy I am with the dry performance.

 

You're damn 615s almost killed me twice on the streets.

I am a big fan of my new FK452s though. I actually grip in Vegas
I don't think you can really beat the price of them either.

 

Falkens FTL!!!

 

Falken FK 452, all around/street, great thread life, can't beat price for what you get.

Falken Azenis RT-615, kills people...

Toyo T1R, more geared towards performence/street, less thread life, can't beat price for great performence

 

I didn't die, just came close to it

 

ok..so it looks like ill go withthe t1r's...the 615s just dont seem practical....

 

Would you consider the Falken FK452? they are a great tire, and are several hundred less for a set than the t1r's.

 

I have T1Rs right now and before on my 03 I had RT615s. I have to admit that the 615 are slippery but damn fun to drive with . I think I would've gotten the 615s again if they made them in 19in. But then again I have no complaints what so ever on thr T1Rs, awesome performance!

 

I have the fk452 and would never buy them again. the only good thing I can tell you about those tires are they run pretty good in the rain, thats about it.

 

so the Falken FK 452 thread lasts longer than the tr1

 

T1R's out of those choices...

 

WHICH thread lasts longer tr1's or g-Force T/A KDW-2
