Can anyone tell me when Falken will be releasing the 225/50-16 615 tires? My Azena Sports are rapidly turning into slicks, so I can't wait too much longer.

cheers,

Just wanted to move this up the ladder. Anyone heard when these tires will be available?

Joe

No response? Surely there must be someone out there who knows when they will hit the market.

cheers,
Joe

I just checked the falken 2005 data book & don't see that size listed

sorry :dunno

I don't know where you looked, but I just checked theie website and also looked in a pullout that came in the most recent Sports Car mag, and both of them show the 225/50-16 listed.

Thanks for troubling to look it up.

My Azena Sports are really getting smooth, so I've got to do something soon. I suspect I'll have to go with BFG or one of the other sticky tires.

cheers,

Joe

try the new Hankook rs2s. theyre really affordable since theyre new and are comparable to the azenis.

Guys,

Thanks for the information. You've given me some good suggestions and I'm grateful. The old Azena Sports are getting bald and slick. It rained briefly while I was on the road last night and I was nervous about the possibility of driving on wet roads! Fortunately it stopped before the roads got wet, but the experience hightened my sense of urgency.

ciao,

Joe
