Hey guys,
I am looking to buy some new tires for the 240Z. It has some Falken Azenis tires on it right now and they are a nice sticky tire. I like them because you can use them on the street, or autocross, or use for a track day. The only problem is they melt away like a race tire. I was wondering if the new model Rt615 has better wear characteristics? I also was wondering if they are better in the rain? My set is horrible. I am also looking at the Kuhmo Ecsta XS. I have heard they are lighter, wear better, and stick more than the Azenis, but you can't believe everything you read online.
Does any one here have any personal experience with these tires? I haven't gotten to talk to anyone about the Kuhmos. The price of the Falken are very attractive at $80 a tire while the the Kuhmo is $96 a tire, so not bad either (tire size is a 205 50 15 right now). I am trying to do this before Z days, where I will have to commute over 1200 miles (total) there and back. I would like a tire that would last more than this one trip. If you have a recommendation for a tire other than the two I listed I am open to suggestions. Thanks for the help.
