Falken tires
 
anyone have experience or suggestions of a falken tire in the same range of a kuhmo 712?? i want to try falken

my goodyear F1s were awesome but i drive hard and i killed them im 3 months... with the hot summer coming up, i want to go with a harder compound tire... the F1's were about $110-125 a piece, so im looking to spend in the $80-90 range

i hear they are good no experience with them though.. i am interested to know as well.. whats the price range ?

zeeman 30-Mar-2005 02:11 PM

falken azenis are great tires. But they also wear out real fast. Decently priced too.

Falken Azenis is nice. I used a set last summer, can't complain. Can't go too fast in wet condition, on a curve that is.

imported_kIeRaN 30-Mar-2005 02:17 PM

the azenis were discontinued :(

imported_f20accord 30-Mar-2005 02:42 PM

the 502 were now they have the 512

I had them amazing tires for the money

Might get another set in 15's

i dont really want super soft performance tires like the azenis..

my buddy had azenis... fronts balded in like a month and a half.... hes a douchebag though...

what is a falken tire like a notch or maybe 2 under the azenis

my goodyears had wear rating of like 230..... i want one ALOT higher

dingus88 30-Mar-2005 03:02 PM

no your GETTING AZENIS and you will like it...looks like I wont' get to try azenis out seeing how they are discontinued..:mad:

falken has the ziex series (sp) I believe and they are abit more affordable/longer wear

but seiously the azenis are cheaper than your F1's so just grab 2 set's this year...will go well with your plan of omni powers etc. Your buddy was probobly a burn out drag race douche who melted them so...

spracingsports 30-Mar-2005 03:08 PM

ok ill look into the azenis and ziex

im thinking about the ziex 512 in the 2nd category.... or the azenis st-115 in the 1st category


the reason my buddys azenis balded so fast... he had azenis sports HAHA

I have azenis sports and they are just fine after 8 months of driving. I noticed little to no tread wear. Mind you i dont go around doing burnouts all the time. Total was 330 after tax and installed for 4 - 195/60/14 (i think there 60 if not 65).

spracingsports 30-Mar-2005 03:41 PM

those are like damn near drag radials..... how did they last 8 months??? friggin cold weather musta froze em..

and i dont do burnouts either ... i just have a tendency to corner harshly...

Nova_Dust 30-Mar-2005 03:53 PM

Azenis is not discontinued.

The full tire spec is Falken Azenis RT-215, this series is discontinued. Now, it is being replaced by Falken Azenis RT-615, different tread pattern, same type of property and from what I heard, it is a little better in wet condition.

Nova_Dust 30-Mar-2005 03:56 PM

This is discontinued

damn maybe I'll grab some old school sports now that they are discontinued before they are all gone...the old ones look way cooler...lol...the newer ones are probobly even worse...they probobly took it up a knotch on stickiness so...

i had the 15" falken 512's i lost so much tread on them in less than 3 months my fronts were down to less that 50% tread

i would stay away if u do a lot of highway and city driving

I only summer drive. I will take pics tomorrow as the tires still look new.

imported_95bluelx 30-Mar-2005 11:47 PM

hey Cee-mon just curious, where did u buy them so cheap? Was that like a tire rack deal or from a local store, please get back to me, I really like that price

cee_mon 31-Mar-2005 12:06 AM

It was actually at performance improvements in barrie during there midnight madness sale. Tires were 72 each plus tax. Mounting them was done by a hook up at the time, but should only cost 20-30 bucks extra if you dont know anyone.

Gunmetalef 31-Mar-2005 12:13 AM

having another sale anytime soon. i'll make the trip if they are that cheap sounds too good to be true
