Tires Falken or DUNLOP
I run Azenis Sports in 195/60 size. It is a bit taller. However, if performance or street tire class competition is more important, then the Azenis is a good tire. They are THE BEST dry tire around. Wet performance is average.
i'm really happy w/ my decission on the falken 512's.... they've been on prolly 3k miles so far and no problems... and believe me... i have to try REALLY hard to slide out or screetch in them.... also when i torque break for my launches, i can't even peel out anymore, the most i get is a light screetch followed by me being sucked into my seat
I am on my second set of SP5000's also on my Passat. They are a great UHP all-season tire. The big knock on them is quick wear, even with a 340 treadwear rating.
The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.
had fm901 before, comparing to what i have now, i will have to say, Potenza G009 is a better tire.
I just got a set of Falken Azenis St-115s (225/45/17 from Edgeracing) - only had them on for 200 miles or sobut they are awesome -- so frickin quiet! So tire hum at all!
i ended up getting the falken 512's.... btw i'm very happy with these, i can carve corners that i would never have dreamed of w/ my old tires(i guess partially b/c the front were basically bald, and the rears only had about 1k left), anyways the handling difference is amazing, i can't wait till i reaaaally get to try these out in a parking lot w/ some cones friday night of so lol
get the Azenis St-115, best handling all-season tire i've ever used. and it handles alot better than the Kuhmo ecsta 712s i had before.
Dunlop 5000's Are these tires super loud for you guys too? I'm starting to get annoyed by mine. They seem to stick real well through corners though.
They turn to hockey pucks on cold enough pavement, snow/ice aside. Winter travel on 615's is a death wish.
