Falken Azenis RT-615K 255/40-17 (set of 4)
I'm about to put new autox tires on the mx5, but there is still life in this set, if someone would like a very affordable set of the new 615K compound to try out. Tread is not quite to the first wear bars. Purchased in May. No patches/plugs, even wear and no rollover wear (very firm sidewall.)
$75
What new tires are you going to get? I need to order new tires today, but can't decide between Star Specs or the R-S3s. Hot and dry I want the R-S3s, cooler and wet I want the Star Specs.
Update
I flipped a coin and ordered the Dunlops.
I think I'm going with the RS3's, based on price alone, if not the heat tolerance too. Hopefully I'll win another set of Falkens at the end of the season!
I forgot you'd won that set.
Robert, I've been very happy with my Star Specs, but I think I'll be trying the RS-3s next. The Star Specs might be a little better in cold conditions, but how often do we have that problem? I know I spend a lot more time trying to keep tires from getting greasy from heat than I do worrying about the cold.
Besides, they're $540/set from Tire Rack versus $688/set for the Star Specs.
The RS-3's are 140 treadwear while the Dunlops are 200. I wonder how the RS-3's perform in the cooler weather/surfaces. I know lostlorin is running the RS-3's on his car, but the only 15" size are 225/45's. I wonder if they are too tall for a stock Miata.
Already ordered the Star Specs. Part of my thinking is if I go back to R-comps next year the Star Specs will be a lot better street tire and also better if I have to drive thru rain going home from an event.
I'll take em...
I got the 235 Specs and they did real good at Hallett but I wanted the RS3. They didn't have them in 235 width. NC Eunos has the 225 RS3 on an 8" RX-7 wheel and they grip as good as my Specs, maybe better.
I just burnt the last of my Star Specs at Mineral Wells, that is if there was anything left when I got there lol...
They were the 215's on my stock 7" wheels... they gripped good when they had life, but they're dead now :(
I got a little over 11K miles daily driving them and autocrossing here and there.
Now I'm getting some wider wheels, not sure what tires to put on them next...
pm replied. Sale pending to Cheavin. :)
I'll take them if Cheavin changes his mind. I can pick up at SCCA this weekend.
Sold. Thx!
