If you dont mind fast wear associated with Falkens the RT615 Azensis Sport is a great tire - 205/50/15. I drive Yokohama A032 R compound softs on the street so I may not be too balanced in my reccomendations.

Super sticky. For a limited driver, fun car, I'm not sure if they can be beat. Close-out pricing on Tire Rack right now. Tire Rack pricing KT |

how are the azenis on the frwy? do they howl? go out of balance? nothing worse than having the steering wheel shakin outta your hands. how stiff do they ride? (subjective, I know)

The RT 615's are actully quite civilized. I ran them on my Boxster and they offered better grip than my S03's and had ride quality that was very close. |
