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.
great tire i love it.. cheap and great grip.. just the tread life isnt so happy
Yes, the sidewall is very stiff. The Azenis is a close as you can get to a "R" compound tire. I use them for track days and am very impressed with their performance.
If you're looking for ultimate grip from a street tire then the Azenis's grip vs the Ziex will far outweigh the additional weight. If you are looking for a decent grip tire and want to get some mileage out of them then don't go with the Azenis.
I run a 205/50/15 Falken Azenis, and its pretty sweet
best drag for the $ definetly Falken Azenis...cheap and very good grippage...better then nitto 555
I just went through the entire process of fitting 15X7 wheels on my '84 GTI. Many people on Vortex had concerns that this combination would be too tight of a fit with 205/50/15 tires (especially the Falken Azenis tires - as they are supposed to be wider at the shoulder than most). I have not had rubbing problems at the shock/ spring support or the wheel wells (except a little when hitting big ol' bumps... where the outside of the tire will slightly rub the fender - nothing to be too alarmed about... just don't hit em')
I was going to buy Nokian summertyres but because they don't manufacture 205/45-16 size and 205/50 would have been too high I decided to try Hankook Ventus K102 cause my friend recommended them for me. They are not bad compared to how cheap they are and will last MUCH longer than for example GY F1.
Same as driving the F1's in the snow. Maybe even a bit worse. Don't even think about it.
