Wow these tires are cheap, right in my price range! Do they last longer than the Advans for those who have experience with them?

It doesn't look like they have them in the stock size, 235/45/17.

 

+1.

At the 2007 Evo Tuner Shootout which limited me to street tires for my class, the Falken Azenis RT615s were easily responsible for adding 10 seconds to my lap times over something decent like Bridgestone RE-01's, and frankly I was wishing I had stock Advans, which at least are predictable when hot. Every single person there I talked to with experience on them laughed and said "Those things are good for half a lap, right?" and that's exactly what happened. Half a lap, then greasy, unpredictable slush tires. A friend I met at the track was so frustrated with them on his S2000 he quit running the laps he paid for.

Use them on the street, forget the track. I don't do low-speed autocross or drag racing, so I wouldn't know about performance there.

Good luck.

cheap and well worth the money...they hold up pretty well for me, and i love the stiffness of the sidewalls...

 

Azenis arent designed to decipate heat well, and they dont, they are NOT meant for hot lapping or road racing. They are the tire of choice in most stock classes in scca.

 

Really ?? They are crazy heavy in our sizes...I would recommend the Bridgestone's over the Falkens for the street....

 

not even same class of tire.....what do u think the W stands for?
615 are going to handle better....thats what i have on mine

 

I'm not sure about the azenis being "better". The bfg's are a great tire with a stiff sidewall. I've run them for a season of auto-x and a few track days and they are still in great shape. I would say they are very close feeling to the stock tires with more life in them. Thats my opinion. As you can see you'll never get a good answer.

 

I've run the BFG KD before .. good tire. Lots of grip but the sidewall is round, bulging and soft. I only tracked them once on my SR20DET-powered 240SX and they held up ok.

RT615s do overheat... overall they are a great tire and awesome for the price you get it for. When it grips, it gives performance rivaling some R-compounds. But it gets greasy after a few laps - how many laps depends on temperatures and track surface. Most of the time on lapping days, I just pull out to cool down a few minutes and go back out and it is fine.

In the end the RT615 is a street tire so I don't expect it to last in track temperatures. It will provide awesome grip in street and autocross settings.

 

To the OP, I just recieved my Falkens from http://www.onlinetires.com/, got them for $119 a tyre 255/40/17. With shipping, that is the lowest price I found so far.

To the people that run Azenis, what kind of milage should I expect from them? DD, with agressive cornering when I can.

 

I am on my 2nd set of Azenis... the first set of 255/40 on stock wheels lasted me a good 12K miles and probably good for another 3-4K. The tires are at the wear bars but tires are usually good for while more after that.
