FALKEN AZENIS RT615K+ RF tire feedback wanted

Tires are in short supply and the FALKEN AZENIS RT615K+ RF tires are the only 200 tread wear ones I found in stock in the sizes I wanted. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Was a good tire think the size I ran long time ago was 235/40/17. I’m running 255/35/18 toyo r1r now. From memory the 615k+ was sticky but would pull more on road imperfections but ride comfort itself is comparable. Unfortunately I can’t give a fair grip comparison because the car was pre ess and lsd so side by side the 615k+ weren’t pushed as hard as the toyos have been.

What do you use this tire for?

They were my last set of tires vs the Nakang NS2R that I have now. I occasionally drive on the street and mainly to and from track.

Falkan has a harder ride, a bit quieter and not as sticky as the Nakang. They heat cycle well and last quite long.

Around town, Falken is better and wet performance are on par with the Nakang. I would say is a better all around tire.

The Nankang is better for what I use them for except pretty loud on highway speed.

HTHs,

I had those tires on my Datsun 510, very sticky.

They're track tires only. I'll use them at road course and Autocross events.
