Thread: Tires for street tire classes

  1. #1

    Default Tires for street tire classes

    Are BFG Comp T/A KD legal for tire classes? I have been looking at wheel tire options, and have decided on 15" wheels and 205/50 tires. The three tires that I have narrowed it down to are the Azenis RT215, Kumho Ecsta MX, and BFG Comp T/A KD. I cannot remember if they are legal for tire class or not, but I seem to remember some legality problem a couple of years ago.

    Pretty sure they're legal.

    Is there a reason that the Azenis Sport isn't on your list?? From a pure performance perspective its going to beat all the others you listed. They wear fast, but they're also cheap.

    Just looking for alternatives. Falken changed the compound in the Azenis this year, and I was rather of impressed with the Ecsta MX when I got to drive on them earlier in the week. I haven't got a chance to drive the new compound Azenis, but a few people that I have talked to say that they are just a tick slower out of the box, but do not heat up as fast.

    I think the Azenis RT215 is the Sport.

    I can see one major disadvantage to the BFGs - they're about $50 more per tire in the 205/50-15 size than Ecsta MXs or Azenis.
