Im debating whether to get a set of Kumho ecsta SPT's for my 88TII or Falken Azenis ST-115.



Kumhos SPT's are W rated and Falken Azenis ST-115's are V rated I believe. Im leaning more to the Kumhos because its much more affordable than the Falkens, with better ratings. However Falken has a better reputation for their Name.



Anyone have any experience with these two tires?



Any input is appreciated!

 

It might be a challenge getting the 115's anymore since they discontinued them. They replaced them with the FK452, and they have been doing really well on the drift cars. They don't get as greasy as the 115's did under extreme heating, and they are a bit grippier than the 115's were. Not quite as grippy as the RT615's, but a good tire non the less. My personal experience with the 452 and 615 Falkens are that they are awesome. Everyone around here that runs canyons, autocrosses and drifts runs Falkens for the most part. Just my .02 but I am a bit biased since Falken don't really cost me anything

 

Thanks for the input.



Im not gonna be doing track time this season, so I am looking for a good comfortable, quiet, grippy (dry and wet). Street tires. If i had the money I would fo gor the falkens... but unfortunatley, finance is a big issue Do you think the SPT's are even comparable?

 

Got the SPTs today. They are swell!

 

I used to go with the kuhmo supras but have owned the ecstas too.



It's a damn good tire for the money.
