Shipping is extra

If you love the old Azenis RT-215 then get them today.

I have have about 40 sets of both sizes available.

Once they are all sold out then that is it...the Azenis RT-215 will not be produced anymore. If you have friends that are looking for these sizes then let them know to stock up !!!

Anybody still looking for tires?

tysonK 2005-04-13 07:17 PM
umm. I don't need tires yet.

freakin A.

Kevin M 2005-04-13 07:19 PM
It wouldn't be a bad idea to stash them for next season.

sperry 2005-04-13 07:27 PM
Dammit! That post is about 8 hours too late Kevin!! :mad:

I wish I had some cash lying around to pick up a spare set... but I'm not gonna cancel my Hankook order to try and grab those. I'm actually looking forward to the gearing advantage, and hopefully lighter weight of the 'kooks.

...course a set of RT-215's for track/solo1 would be nice...

Kevin M 2005-04-13 07:28 PM
I'm sorely tempted to stash a set for when I can afford another set of 17s for the same purposes.

IheartSTI 2005-04-13 07:29 PM
I have the toyo proxy fours..... I like them a lot, my car handles good and they last a long time.

Kevin M 2005-04-13 07:29 PM
And agreed on the gearing issue... that's a big part of why I went 235/40 also.

Yeah, but they're talking autocross tires, the Proxes 4 will not come close to the performance of the RE070, Azenis Sports, MX or Hankooks in this area. It's a fun street performance tire and all, but not good for autocross.

I try to avoid racing on all-season tires.

Maybe those Proxies would be usefull as wets, but after looking at the tread blocks on the new Hankooks, I'd bet a full depth set of those would be awesome wet tires.

bastard!!! you could have tossed S-03 in there :lol: j/k

just woundering.....where can you buy RE070's? I can't seem to find them or they just dont make the size I'm looking for :(

RE070's are usually pretty hard to order... you usually have to buy 'em as take-offs from other STi owners.

'Course, at their retail price, I think RE070's are a rip-off. You can get a set of Azenis *and rims* for the retail price of RE070's. :lol:

Actually, it probably would not be to good of an idea. Even if well bagged, sticky tires lose some of there stickieness over time as the rubber dries.

The 215s at this point are probably already 4-6 months old, maybe more. Another 12 months is not going to make them any stickier. A new set of the Hankooks next year is probably a better option unless you are on a super tight budget.

or if we get lucky the 615's will be at the 215's price?:)

Kevin M 2005-04-13 07:52 PM
Nope. Falken either spent a shitload on R&D or got greedy. Don't look for prices to fall much at all.

What, are you rippin on me for not having an STi? :lol: If you don't like my answers, go ask your questions over at that myimprezawrxstiisbetterthanallotherimprezas.com site with all the other stuck up STi owners. :P (I'm pretty sure Matt and Eric have accounts over there too...) :lol:

Also, you wouldn't be able to buy any RE070's off me anyway, 'cause if I had a set, I'd wear 'em out!

Don't worry. I get my share of you guys around here... I don't need to go looking for trouble.

<-- knows how JC felt when the WRX turned into the asshole subaru of choice.

Dean 2005-04-14 09:26 AM
Man, this was a nice little tire thread, now it's shot to hell...

Personally I am Car agnostic: I beleive there may or may not be inner speed and agility in all cars, but won't "believe" it until I drive them.
