Anyone here currently using the Falken Azenis Sports? They're available in a 245/45ZR-17 and are cheap ($122 a pop). I know they're Honda tires, but they make 'em in a size reasonable for our application. Anyone?

 

They seem to be real popular with the STS guys who have to run a true street tire.

Everything I've heard tells me they are very sticky however they will have a limited life on the street (like a DR), theyr'e on the noisy side, and they dont have the best wet weather traction.

 

All things I personally care nothing about, lol! If I could justify putting (Yokohama) Advan A032Rs on my car, I would. They're just too 'spensive though to put on my street car only to buy a new set after like 5k miles or less. Every opinion I've heard about the A032Rs has been for an autocross car and never a street car. The Azenis seem to be popular with the import crowd and look a lot like the 32R and they make a 245 for around or under $100 so I was wondering.

 

The Nitto 555RII is comperable to the Azenis, and available in a 275/40/17. I have go over 10K miles out of two sets, and both were drag raced, autocrossed, plus a couple sessions on a road course.
