anyone have experience with falken azenis rt-215 or rt-615?

they sounds great for dry conditions but was just concerned about how they'd be in the wet and how fast they wear. my tire guy raves about them but wanted to see if anyone here had used them.
according to the falken site the rt-615's are meant to be like a gazillion times better.

Bridgestone Potenza S-03's :thumbsup:
Excellent grip and very quiet tyres. They cost over $200 in 16" from the Bridgstone Warehouse on Silverwater road.

im running yokohama AVS sports on my civic at the moment. 205/40/zr17
awesome grip in the wet and dry.. really impressed by their performance compared to my old firenza tyres.
whats the cheapest tyres i can get for rims size 15x6.5
Don't know, but I'm pretty sure they're not the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s I just put on my car.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 - 195/55R15 85W - $154ea. Great grip in the dry, haven't tried them in the wet yet. Mileage... can't say... softish tyre so depends how much you make 'em work. Tyre isn't loud, but it's not as quiet as Bridgestones. Can't hear it over my soft music, so it doesn't bother me.
Now I need to get some good suspension to do the tyres justice.
EDIT: I have now had the tyres a couple of months and I can say I'm very happy with them! Worth every cent so far. Dry grip is fantastic, makes my stock VTi feel very balanced. But the wet grip is excellent. I have driven in wet and slippery conditions and they stuck as though it was dry.
As long as you run the right pressure (I run at ~39 front, ~38 rear) and get some heat in them before you start pushing, these tyres stick in wet or dry.
And in reply to z3lda, sorry for the late reply, but yes the tyres fit, look good and feel even better on the road. Definitely good size for the 15x6.5".
so you've got 195s on 15x6.5" rims?
dunno if this was posted before but it is quite handy...

How about Bridgestone GIII's? I got mine for $110 each. Size was 195/50/15 :)Quote:

not sure neil... i also got the GIII 195/50/15 on my rims too. prob 15 x 6, not 6.5...
i have 195/50/15 G3's on my 15x7 rims - fit yes. Not entirely efficient for road wear and cornering tho.Quote:
