Falken

Hi Guys ...
Did Anyone Try The Falken (azen1s 235/45zr17 Rt215) ..

They Told Me That Those Are Semi-sliks...

But Do Falken Company Make Semi-sliks? Tires

And How Good Are Those Tires.. ?

I Wanna Use Them For Auto-cross Racing... Which Means I Realy Need High Grip.. For Cornering..

I Need Them For My Lexus Sc300 Twin Turbo..

Re: Falken

yes, they are semi-slicks and are very sticky, however, 235's are too narrow for the rears on a car like yours with ~300 hp. For the fronts they'd be great though.

Re: Falken

tires that are too narrow especially on the drive wheels lose traction earlier, which means your car will oversteer more than it would if it had a wider rear tire.

I think for the price the Azenis are the best tire you can go with, the only other street-slicks that are comparable are the BFG T/A KD and Yokohama A032R which cost alot more.
