Tires Nexen or Falken

I have a set on one of my Corrados and LOVE them. I've only had them for about 3000 miles so far, but dry grip/handling is amazing, and wet grip really isn't too bad at all. Standing water I would take it a bit slow, but even on a wet road after the rain, they grip/handle pretty well.

I rolled the rt-615 and loved them, More grip than I ever needed/used.

Good luck with yours. I've driven more on mine, and after adjusting my suspension, I am loving them. Good traction at any temperature.

My traction problems are going to occur no matter what street tires I have for sure, but any little bit will help. FWD and over 400hp don't go too well together as far as lower gear traction is concerned. I'll def look into the rt-615s though. Edit: I just ordered 2 to try out. I'll report back

When i bought my GTI 1.8T it came with the Nexen n3000 and personally i liked them the road handling was quite good and they seem to handle well in the wet also. The tread lasted me quite long and id say for about 14000 miles and they still had 6-7/32 tread left when i sold them. Honestly i am thinking of buying them again!

I just had two RT-615's sized 225/45/17 put on the front of my GTI. Now, with that said, these tires are amazing. I haven't even put 100 miles on them yet and they already grip like crazy. I have minimal wheel spin at 22psi through first, and little to none in second gear. With my Yokohama AVS ES100's I would have full spin through first and second unless they were REALLY hot. These tires provide better grip than those even when they are cold.

I put on the nexens yesterday and they seem to handle well. There is hardly any road noise on the highway and for the price i can't complain.........

AZENIS I have had mine just over a year{ still holdin air } and love them maybe one of my favorite tires i have ever had

I run Azenis Sports in 195/60 size. It is a bit taller. However, if performance or street tire class competition is more important, then the Azenis is a good tire. They are THE BEST dry tire around. Wet performance is average.

They turn to hockey pucks on cold enough pavement, snow/ice aside. Winter travel on 615's is a death wish.
