Stiffer sidewall; Falken 512’s or Sumitomos htr-200's

Has any one had any experiences in which tires have a stiffer sidewall? I know everyone likes the htr-200’s, but I need a real reason to get them. Thanks

don't have any experience with the Falken, but I can tell you right now that the HTR 200's main weakness is a soft sidewall. My $0.02

Too bad they didn't make the Azenis in 13"

I'd still stick with the Falkens though..

or do you have aftermarket wheels?

Dont have aftermarket wheels. I am looking for a tire for lapping days. Unfortunatly i cant afford a set of R compounds and Street tires so im looking for the best compromise.

I dont want soft side walls, so it looks like the hrt200's are not the best way to go......

I wish the Azenis came in 13"!!!!
