good tires...?? Prices and Quality...!!

[WI_S14_Goldie]

Hey everyone. I was in search of some good tires, as of right now im leaning towards Falken Azenis...They're a "bit pricey." what kind of tires are u rolling on?? and what other tires compete with Azenis. Quality and Price. Appreciate any feed back..Thanks.

hankook rs2

not *quite* as much grip, but probably 98%, plus theyre cheaper, and they last longer

If you are looking for a cheap Azenis 615 competitor, Hankook RS2 hands down. I've been running some 235/40/17 RS2's for about 3 weeks and love them.

The treadblocks are not quite as large as 615 blocks, but they stick like crazy, and have hardly worn at all despite some pretty hard driving, and 50 mile round trip drives to work 5 days a week.

I brought the edgeracing quote into Discount tires and got them for 105 each.

whats the tread wear on RS2'S? A budd of mine has some toyo proxies, are they any good??

[nismofly]

rs2 treadwear is 200

and depends on what kind of proxes...thats the name they use for pretty much every car tire lol

[WI_S14_Goldie]

LoL. i guess ill have to go and check. But thanks for the aid. another option was BFGoodrich G-force sport. I heard their ratings were pretty good plus their tread wear is up in the 300s. At $70 a piece...

Generally speaking, if you are looking at tires in a certain price range, the higher the treadwear, the worse the tire grips.

Which one would u pick?? (out of those three)...They are going to be used for mainly for daily driving. a few of my buddies have been trying to drag me into autocrossing, but since i have ****ty bald tires i've never participated. So when it all comes down to it i want something cheap, "long lasting", and grippy.

how many miles do you want out of them? 200 treadwear tires are not long lasting no matter how you look at it. They grip like crazy though.

Like I said, I have RS2's and love them, but If I was driving 10k+ miles a year I might not want to run them. This car is my daily, I just don't drive much.

[WI_S14_Goldie]

See im going to be going to school out of town so im gonna be constantly going back and fourth. I think im going for BFGoodrich, hopefully it has descent grip, plus im not pushing any major numbers so i thiink i should be good.

[naed240sx]

ehh. My car probably makes 120whp, and I use every bit of my 17x9s and 235 width tires. 50 mph in 20mph warning corners FTW.

lol fuzions are complete crap in comparison to Azenis and RS2's.

[s13rb25det]

O.K.

[WI_S14_Goldie]

yea crap...LoL J/K he was just trying to give u a hard time...

[naed240sx]

yea crap...LoL J/K he was just trying to give u a hard time...

I was actually being completely honest.

[adrianfromthecastle]

i love azenis.. but they dont make them in my size (205/55/15) if i were you, you should check the sponsors we have here... you get like 10% off plus free shipping n crap

HANKOOK RS2 Hands Down!!!

[Veriest1]

A budd of mine has some toyo proxies, are they any good??

Mine were utter garbage. They were greasy and wouldn't hook up at all under heavy acceleration. They also had terrible traction if it was even the least bit wet.



These were them. I'm on BFG G-Force KDW II's now and they're simply amazing in comparison.

[Logan76]

im on kuhmo ecsta's and I cant complain one bit, but I dont know how the rest of u guys feel? i paid like 125$ per tire I believe.

[whiterps13]

Khumo ectsa 711's suck.Khumo ecsta 712's are ancient.Khumo ecsta MX's are awesome. Thats what I run, and they are by far my favorite tire that Ive purchased.
