The Falken Azenis wear out fairly quickly.

My recommendation is still the Kumho 712's for street use for their great price (about 1/2 the price of S02's), good in the rain performance and excellent durability. They are not as sticky as the S02's but I doubt most people can out drive them in the city streets.

But if you are planning on driving on the track or competing in Solo1 or Solo2...get something other than the Kumho 712's.

 

Yeah, but do u think the Azenis are as sticky as the SO2 PP's? where do they fall? Inbetween the SO2 PP's and the Stock S02's?

 

I have about 24,000 km on my Kumho 712's and they are still pretty good. I made the mistake of ordering the 225's for the rear and then had to get the 245's. I put the 225's on the front and they work OK...a bit cushy but I like the wider look on the front.

 

S-03's are also a great tyre. Probably slightly less total grip than S-02's but nicer breakaway characteristics. A little bit more predictable...

The S-03s will be my choice after my rears wear out after this summer.

Will there be a problem with S02 fronts and S03 rears?

 

I know a couple of people who have enjoyed that combination without problems until they wore out a set of fronts as well.

 

what tire size would that be? 245/40/17 and 215/45/17 for the fronts?

I currently have 215/45/17 for the front and 235/40/17 in the rear...... maybe my speedo is out and i dont know it?! the guy at tirewarehouse said those sizes match up with the OEM diameter?

so confusing.....

if anything it hoguht the rear tires would have to be 245/35/17???
