Default Falken Azenis

I am about to buy a set of V710s for my 17/18 inch wagon wheel rims Im going to use for autoX. However Falken has just come out with an Azenis that will fit the 18inch rims. I run ASP in my Vette, which tire do you think would be better/last longer???

Everybody that is serious in ASP will have V710's. Which will be the whole field. The Falken's are good for a stock tire class.

If your serious then you need the 710's.. I am excited about the release of the RT-615's in Z06 sizes and my first set are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I will be running them as a daily tire, running the 555RII's was lots of fun on the street but expensive when I put 20,000 miles on my Z06 in ONE year...

Tom,
Although Falken makes a good tire, I ran the Azenis215 tire on my Spyder for 1/2 a season, I was a good 2 secs slower with them vs. the Kumho Ecsta. To lay a proper smack-down on that M-Coupe, you'll need the R-Comps.

(I won my lemon-law case and will be going ahead with the Magnacharged Z06...looks like SM2 for me!!!)

Really, do the R-comps. Once you have those stickies on, you're going to be gunning for FTD anyway...as long as that Evo stays away...
