hey All.

done a few events with you guys now and decided its time to get better boots for my car. (Focus SVT)

done some research and got down to 2

Falken Azensis RT-615 or Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 StarSpec.

just can't make the final decision, any thoughts anyone?

thanks

Mike

ok before anyone says anything i just realised there is a very similar thread below.

i should maybe have added as well that this car is not a daily driver, odd trips to Lowes and Publix but thats about it.

Falkens will give you the best bang for your buck.

Depends on whether you want to go with R-compounds or not. Most Hoosiers and Kumho V710s are exceptions) are suitable for short trips on the street.

If you want to stay with a harder-compound (and usually cheaper) street tire, Bob's probably right. There's lots of buzz about the Dunlops right now -- people are seeing as a Falken-beater -- but beyond results from a few national events, little hard information. Falken RT-615s are relatively sticky, and pretty sturdy as well -- I commuted on mine (80 miles/day) for a couple of weeks.

done it, ordered falkens, got a pretty good deal from edgeracing...

you won't be disappointed

What size did you get? I tried ordering a set of 225/45/17 and they were out of stock and didn't expect to get any soon.

i got 215/45r17, i think they must have been the last 4, they are now out of stock as well....

The Z1 Star Spec is better than the Azenis.

Azenis is the best bang for the buck in a 14" tire... almost the ONLY bang available in that size. But, for 15's... I think the Star Specs are easily worth $10-15 more per tire.

Azenis are good. Star Specs are better.

so now i have the new tires on,

anyone interested in a set of kumho ecsta allseasson, part worn, 215/45r17.

Glad I ordered the Star Specs for my new wheels this week since they are back ordered at least 1 month in 255/40/17
