Ok....here is my tire question. I am looking to order some new tires for my car. I am debating between the Kumho MX and the Falken Azenis Sport. Which one will do better for auto-x as well as street driving. They will have to drive in dry/wet conditions....no snow will be necessary.
The sizes will be: Kumho MX 225-45-17(F) and 255-40-17® Falken Azenis Sport 225-45-17(F) and 245-45-17® I am running 5Zigen FN-01RC Bronze in 17x8(F) and 17x9®. The Kumho MX will cost me $492 shipped and the Falken Azenis Sport will cost me $474 shipped. I am just curious to know what you feel are the better tire. |
I heard the MX are better. But i have not tried either. I ahve a set of Toyo RA1 on my stock TII meshies... i'm going ot upgrade to enkeis next year for street
|
I talked to a few people running the Azenis at my last track day. They all said they grip well until they get hot, then they start feeling greasy. Also a little bit squirmish at full tread. I don't think you'll be seeing the same temps on an autox though.
|
In Texas it is easy to over heat the Azenis at an autocross. I have the MX and have been very happy with them serving dual duty (street/ autox). They are great in the wet, good hydroplane resistance.
I'm sure you'll be happy with either one. |

I'd get the HOes, but that's just me.

I 've had most brands even BFg road race, Hoosier RR, and last the Toyo R1. RE71s and RE71 R , Goodyear, Nitto 555.
As of pure street and price the Sumitomo with 180 tread wear is awsome. sticky and not too expensive. |
