Falken Tires
Yo, give me some opinions on the Falken Azenis Sports. I know them sh#ts is good on dry turf but I hear in wet weather there like suicide. Another bad thing I hear is that if yo don't do a standstill burnout to warm them up, they don't grip at all. Also what you'll think about the Falken Zeix 512s for Allseason/performance.

I had some Azenis,i was not happy with them as they wore out in 4 months.My car is not a high hp car either nor did i drive hard on them.Lots of road noise and yes in wet weather i did have some hydroplaning,which did worry me.That is just my expeirience with them.
As for the 512's i have heard good things about them and may be going with them this time.Looking for a good all around tire which from what i have heard seems like they are for the price.

From my personal experience the Ziex are a excellent all around passenger tire. It does well in the rain and works in the snow also. Dry traction is just slightly better than the stock tires - don't expect to be launching with these tires. I don't know how the hell Josh managed to run a 12.6 with these tires

he has some sort of thing called a turbo??? i dunno what that does, but i think its like the tornado thing for the intake lol
i would recommend the Ziex also, i like them, they provided decent traction for how much i paid, the azenis were excellent on track days, i had them on as my daily driven tires but the tread wear was too high on those and im not made out of money

the Ziex 512's are excellent all season tires.
I have a set of those on my boosted Vr6 which I do use when I race at the tracks.
They provide excellent handling and grip when traveling at 105+ mph.
The only thing I dont like is that they produce some road noise.
Significantly louder than stock.
All in all. Very good tires at a great price.
Last set I bought was from Discounttires.com.
They ran me 41 dollars each tire.

i drove with the Falken azenis (205/50/15 if it matters) for about 3 or 4 months. tread lasted great, INCREDIBLE traction in the dry pavement on WARM days. once it gets down to like 30 degrees outside, they dont grip as good. in rain the are ok, as long as you dont hit big patches of puddles. (i hydroplaned a bit on a date on a rainy day lol). i took them off in the snow. they shouldnt be driven in the snow.
