Hey guys im trying to decide what tires I would like to Buy and im torn between the Nitto NT-05 Or the Falken Azenis 615K

I plan on driving the car to and from the track but it'll also be a daily i don't drive very far

Any experiences with either tires?

The Nitto's are $155 a piece and the Falkens are $179 a piece

 

check out Kumho ecsta XS.....they're better than both

 

i always hear good things about the ecsta

i've been reading a lot on tires recently, more ppl seem to like the 615ks over the nittos.
are these 2 the only choices you want?

 

I had the kumho exactas They worked great but didn't last to long. But I suppose any real performance tire will not last to long. I can tell you though when I switched to track only tires there was a huge difference. using the RA1's and old Z211's. I am getting tired of putting on and off the race tires and running to the track with slicks so I may try your approach again....

 

hey check out hankook RS3 I am running them this yr

if i had to choose I would go with the nitto...good luck finding ur size
hybrid

 

kumho ecsta's are far out of the price range im looking at,

I already know the nitto's are in the size I want $180 is my upper limit per tire im looking at 225/40 18

in the ecsta sizing its $245 a tire ew

 

Wow, you got the Falkens that cheap?! I was quoted $230 and that was also my buddy's cost. I was deciding between the 615K's and the Direzza Z1's, and the Z1's were cheaper but also got the better reviews

 

direzza starspec are a good tire. i think they're outta your price range but the nitto's seem to be making a pretty good name for themselves in all over the place. personally i love my nto1's but that is a a little extreme for you goals.

 

Honestly I would run the Nt01 because it falls into the price range but id be scared to drive them in the rain lol

Ya i get Falkens that cheap

 

My Tires are not NEAT-O Tires....
they are Just F**KIN Tires!......................haha,haha.haha!..I kill myself sometimes!

 

thats a good price on the falkens.... my cost is higher than that!! i have the Ecsta XS on my car and they dont stop gripping. rain is not fun though lol. i like the nitto product as well but here in Canada its a KalTire exclusive bullshit. so i cant say i have ever run them. I have heard great reviews about the Falkens from customers but it is mostly civic guys who dont really know what power is.... lol
