Hello all,
I think we've settled on our first set of tires for our car for the upcoming DE in April. Was wondering if anyone has a line on a good place to bu Falken Azenis tires, specifically the RT-615Ks? There are a few online distributors, but the one I've been to most in the past, TireRack, doesn't carry Falkens. Can anyone recommend a good place at a decent price? Was hoping that Falken would be up to sponsoring a Chumpcar, but even with their recent great finish at Sebring, I don't think they're going to go for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The cars I've watched over the years the Star Specs were out performing anything in that class of tire. What didn't you like them?

The cars I've watched over the years the Star Specs were out performing anything in that class of tire. What didn't you like them? Hey Aaron, With the car I drove them on, I always felt like I had very little room for error and the tire would not report back to me. The one time I looped it I had no warning or squealing from the tires. That, and once they got good and warmed up with some hard laps, I had a very hard time cooling them back down. Since at least one of our drivers will have no track time before our first DE next month, I'd rather go with something that turns in well but still warns the driver before it gives up. The Star Specs are great, sticky tires and the Falkens are almost on par, but I'd pick the Falkens to learn on. Plus, our theme is based on the Falken schema (I know, probably lame) so that's what we'll start with. If we need another set, I'd consider the Star Specs. |
