Tires Toyo or Falken

Falken Tires

The tires are 205/40/16 Falken Azenis RT-615. The wheel adapters/spacers were purchased on here from Vtec-This-Vr, and are excellent quality. There is no rubbing and the car handles perfectly.

Pros: excellent quality, handles perfectly
Cons: no rubbing

I have them on my E30. They're a fantastic tire in ALL conditions but heavy snow. Great in the dry, great in the wet, wear better than 512s did, fairly quiet for what they are. They're even passably ok in plowed/packed snow on traveled roads. They're slow to get going from a stop, but once you're moving they're very predictable and easy to drive with.

Pros: great in dry, wet
Cons: bad in loose snow
Vehicle: BMW

I have them on 2 of my cars - one summer car - one daily... Perform good in rain, and "well" in snow. I've got about 50% tread left - and in snowy conditions do fine (except from a dead stop - can be difficult). Did great in the first summer/winter - but like any "performance all-season" does so-so once the tread wears down... For a great price - I say rock em...

Pros: good in rain, well in snow
Cons: difficult from dead stop

I plan to buy these tires for sure, they seem to be the top stretch tire along with the 512 Falken.

Pros: top stretch tire

I use falken rt615 both for auto-x and summer driving. best bang for the buck, and don't worry about wet weather traction, i drove through some of the nastiest storm on them without a second of hesitation, as a matter of fact they are better then any other tire I had so far

Pros: best bang for the buck

Ok..prior to purchasing the Falken Ziex Ze 912 tires I couldn't really find many reviews on them so I figured I'd share my thoughts. Initial impression was they felt like they offered a more comfortable soft ride compared to the Dunlops. But the Dunlops gave a better sharper steering feel that is more responsive than the Falkens. The Dunlops had a better road feeling vs. the Falkens, which seem to feel more floaty and slower to respond. Drove the Falkens in the rain tonight and they felt pretty good. From a dead stop the Falkens gripped better with no wheel spin. Whereas the Dunlops would often spin out even when new. Falkens definitely performed better in the wet. In cornering, the Falkens seem like they have a stiffer sidewall, which I like. In comfort and noise, the Falkens definitely seem quieter than the Dunlops and absorb road bumps much better than the Dunlops.

Pros: comfortable soft ride, better grip
Cons: floaty, slower to respond
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Sorry if my comments offended you. With the Toyo T1-S, I've run 195/55R14's on both a Miata and a Rabbit GTI. I've used 3 different wheel sizes with those tires (and I've had two sets over the years). On 5.5" wheels (stock Miata wheels), they are a little too vague on turn in for my taste. But they have gobs of grip once you get it turned in. On 6" wheels, they are a bit sharper, and the grip is about the same as on the 5.5" wheels. On 7" wheels, they get even sharper, but seem a little harsh, and they have noticeably less grip for cornering and for braking. And when they get to the limit on that wheel, they tend to let go a little abruptly. I've also seen some lap time test results for other sizes of the T1-S (Speed Touring and GT cars ran those tires a few years ago), and it was pretty consistent. At the widest end of the recommended wheel widths, they were already losing a significant amount of grip and were very unforgiving. They seemed to perform best toward the middle of the specified range of rim widths.

Pros: gobs of grip, sharper
Cons: vague on turn in, less grip

Based on the fact of how much I hate my Toyo Proxy 4's (235/45/17)and the lack of response I received by contacting Toyo I will no longer consider that brand for anything.

Cons: hate Toyo Proxy 4's
