Tires Falken or OEM Volkswagen

Falken Tires

The tires performed great! I'm not really used to autoxing a front drive car - I've been running a B-Stock Miata for a while now, and quickly forgot what an understeer battle it is - but it was clear that the Azenises are somewhere inbetween a street tire and a race tire. They seemed to like about 40 PSI in the front (they were rolling over with 38) and no matter how high the rear was (ended at 54 psi) I couldn't get the car to rotate.

Pros: tires performed great
Cons: understeer battle

Rating 5.0

In short, these are by far the stickiest street tires I have ever driven on. They are substantially better than the Kumho Ecsta 712s that I had before. They are also about 1/2" wider for the same section size. These feel more like R-compound tires than summer tires, in that they break away very slowly, and are nearly silent. Exit speed on my favorite off-ramp has increased by about 5 MPH compared to the Kumhos. Wet performance is about equal to the Kumhos. They are quiet on the highway, although very stiff.

Pros: stickiest street tires
Cons: very stiff
