i need tires
 
i want some sporty tires for street use and autox.

Braineack 04-09-2007 08:41 AM

Hankook RS2, Khumo MX, or Falken Azenis

Gforce sport dammit :gay:

In comparison though. I have some gforce kdws and for the money it sounds like azenis are the better tire even if they do get a little greasy. I'm not switching mine out or anything though, they're still a pretty good tire.

i know they are good, but for the price....eh, the three i recommend are the cheapest you'll find and the top performers.

I like my azenis rt-615's, RS2s are not bad either.

I haven't tracked the car or even raced it on these tires. I can see them sucking. With a treadwear of 400, they're obviously not that sticky. I also happen to have 17" wheels, that changes everything.

My friend has RS2's (15" 94R), He tracks and AutoX's all summer, he's on his second or 3rd year of w/ the same RS2's and is usually FTD or within 1/2 a second... Also his wife drives as well (and she sometimes beats him) and as often.

For the price the RS2's are a good 'all around' tire.

I went w/ the Azenis (and I really want to beat that MR2 this year) because I also have a new set of Bridestone 009's that nobody wants, so I'll just run those on the street.

When I mentioned to my friend I was picking up tires, (he has been autox for @ least 10yrs I am a n00by) I mentioned the Azenis, he insisted on the RS2's, when I showed him the price difference between the two...He was surprised...Azenis arrived today :)

I went with the RS-2's and am happy so far. That's not saying much as it sits in the garage more than anything..

cjernigan 04-10-2007 09:20 PM

That price makes me want to sell my stuff, buy some nickel 6uls and get the 615s.

I've never used the Kumho MX's, but I liked my experiences with the other two...I'd prolly go azenis again...but I might pick up some kooks just because they are cheaper.

The RS2's were 60 ea at the same size/site...



I thought we were SOL on the 6UL's until August?

Rage_Kage 04-13-2007 11:01 AM

so im either goin with azenis or rs2. what size is closest to stock on the azenis. i have daisys

miatamania 04-13-2007 11:02 AM

both have a 195/60/14, close enough so it wont mess with the speedo much.

I have the RS-2s on my daisy's I like them, wouldn't mind comparing the 14" Azenis though, I have those on my 16s...hehe
