So I have been running Falken Azenis for last 5 years...205/50 -15's and they have been very good for me.
My only issue is speedo and odometer is off ~10% (top speed too). This helps in autoX and it drops my gearing and tightens the ratio. (9.1% per tire calculator bu What do you all recommend for tires these days, between track events and autoX it is time, even if mileage is only ~ 10k. What is "best tire" these days? Hear Yokohama's are really good too, Love the grip of these Azenis, and rarely see rain, this is sunny day car. Second do I go with 195/65 -15 since I don't autoX and track that much any more? Or Second, can I re-gear 5th to put it back where it should have been on top-end and re-cal the speedo? Just expensive way to do it..... What other options do I have? Will 205/65-15 fit? What is best 195/65-15 option? Thanks Whiplash |

I've currently got Yokohama AVS Intermediates on mine in 205/50-15, and really like them. But they need to be replaced and Yokohama doesn't make the AVS Intermediate anymore (Apparently its been replaced with the S-Drive).
Thing is I can't afford $500 for a set of tires right now (and that's what they'd be installed at Discount Tire). So are the Kuhmo's decent? Would anyone here take a set of Kuhmo's over Yokohamas? (I can get a set of Kuhmo ECSTA ASTs for $375ish). I haven't run anything but Yokos on my last three cars (including an awesome set of A008s that were on the 914 when I bought it). |
