falken azenis rt615k+ 205/55/15 on 15x7
Lime rock park. 135 laps over 2 days This was my very first time on these tires. Previously I was using NT05 and they are a bit different. The Falkens cold have a lot of grip. I was finding on the first few laps they were quite sticky and felt solid. When they started heating up I don't think they were "losing" grip, but they allowed more slip, but they were very predictable and still gave my enough confidence to slide into corners. Maybe towards the end of the 2nd day they gave me a few "uh-o" moments, but they again the stayed very predictable. The Falkens also handled very well in the wet. We had some heavy rain and they performed well. They may have another day in them, but they took a beating this weekend. For their price and performance I would definitely get them again. |

should revive this chat, some new tires come into the game this season, bfg rival s 1.5, hankook rs4 , toyo r888r, maxxis vr1, nexen nfera sur4, nankang ar1 and more, need your input on those
Cant comment on the Rival or AR1 as all reports I've heard say they won't take Sebring summer heat. On that note I can defiantly say my new 245 Hoosiers are freeeken huge and going to be some work to get inside the wheel wells even on 9.5" wheels. The RS4 and VR1 on 10" wheels fit with flat roll and minimum pull. The Hoosiers are a full inch wider at the tread and much more square profile. |

I'm excited to try these out when the become available in the 245/40ZR15. How was the wear compared to other tires you've run?
