Yes. I guess the full name is Axenis Sport RT-215 Pure sports, and the 115 is the Azenis ST-115 D1 Sports. Confused yet? I am...

If I had to choose a daily driver for those rims, I'd go with a 225/40/17, and probably a Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 for $25 less a tire... Unfortunately, I can't find any test data on the Falken
I had some 712's (225/40-18's even), and while they're good tires, I think the ST115 beats them in just about every aspect. The 712 might have just a nudge better dry performance, but they're *much* louder and their wet performance can't compare to the ST115s. But I guess that's why the Falkens cost $100 more.
