I'm daily driving a set of RS2's also... good for DD work, but Azenis are still my favorite ST* class tire, although I haven't driven on the Yokohamas yet.

The 225 Hankooks aren't that wide. Azenis tend to run quite wide for their stated size.

ugh, a 225 will be wider than a 205 of the same tire. if you read the post in context it helps.

Not always...

Look at the 205/50/15 Azenis vs. the 215/45/16 Azenis. The 205 is wider.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuughain....IF....and again IF you read my post IN CONTEXT...which is apparantly too hard of a request.

if your going from a 205->255 RSII you will get about 20mm of tire, 10mm per side, in reguards to fitment.

why dont you englighten me on how wide a 245 hoosier s03 is while your at it and show everyone how smart you are. im sure everyone still thinks they are actually 245mm wide instead of being an oversized tire for their rated size, just like any other competition tire :rolleyes

im not trying to do a pissing match, im just asking for people to actually have a mental capability to read posts in a thread and understand context without every post having to be written out in intricate detail becasue people are too stupid to read the post above it or being quoted.
