Hello, I have narrowed down by tire choices to these two, I will not really be auto-x'ing or anything just usual summer driving with some spirited cornering every-now and again

 

You'll probably get more miles form the Star Specs (not many more though) and if you drive in the rain, you'll find the Star Specs to be MUCH better in the wet. I'd get the Star Specs over the Azenis every time.

 

Joey,Go for the Star-Spces and will save your life..
I got spin out few times from the RT615. It has no Feed Back and I'm still Scare. The RT615 is decent tires for auto-X or track,But not for street and high boosting.
As for the Star-Specs,I'm running few hundred miles with UK alignment and I love it. It's the best tires for the $$$ and Great handling.

 

great thanks, yeah I hear the Falkens dont make any noise when they are close to the edge, hopefully the star specs will screech at least a little bit when they are being pushes

 

I wouldn't call the Azenis a good track tire. The 615 has improved over the 215, but it still gets greasy after a few laps.

Go for the Star Spec -- better in the wet, which will be a huge help on a DD.

 

Plenty of threads around that talk about this already.
