    225/45R17

    Falken Azenis Rt615

    www.edgeracing.com
    www.vulcantire.com
    www.tirerack.com

    These places typically have the best prices, although I've heard of Discount tire stores matching the online prices and then you don't have to pay shipping. :)

    Also- what kind of car? You'll probably want to go with a wider tire for pretty much any newer subaru.

    Discount couldn't match Edge Racing's price on my Hankooks.

    Mike - if you are looking solely for an autocross tire, I'd suggest going with the Falkens from what I've read/heard recently. The Hankook is probably a better street tire, though.

    Tires

    I was thinking of ordering a set of each, I'm sure I will use them.

    How long does it take to get these?

    after driving on both the hankooks and the falkens, i would have to choose the falkens over the kooks, if they came in the size i want.

    their grip and turn in is just better than the hankooks.

    after driving shane's car on the hankooks they leave a lot to be desired in terms of turn in and sidewall but the grip is solid and theyre decent tires, but no azenis 215s.

    Yes.
    I ran a full season on a set last year.
    They're definetly the preferred tire, if you can get them in a size that works for you.

    Ok mike.
    i looked through your other thread, and this one.
    What size wheels do you have?

    if you have a 17"x7.5-8.0" set of wheels, then 235/40-17 falken RT-615s are your best bet. I'm kinda wishin' i went with them this year over the hankooks.

    if you've got 18's as it's said in the other thread, your only real tire choice is a 225/40-18

    and as i suggested in the other thread, contact Sears.
    they have their own warehouse typically and were able to get me my falkens faster than other places.
