Quicker than the Bridgestones? Wow. I wish they came in my size.
I was not surprised by the Falkens coming in dead last.

they work alright. i haven't driven in the rain a whole lot with them, due to an obvious lack of rain, but when i have they've had plenty of grip.

Ran an E36 M3 this weekend that had these. Felt very good for street tires. Haven't driven the direzzas or RE-01Rs to compare, but they feel pretty damn awesome.

I just picked up a set - one day I'll get them mounted. Is it wrong to be so excited about a set of tires?

We have seen your old tires.......so........ the answer is a definitive NO!

Just dumped my wheels/dunlops off to get flipped on the wheels......trying to milk 10 months out of them. I honestly should have done it sooner.......guessing I already have around 300 runs on them + 1 trackday

205/50/15 - stickier than the Azenis I had, a little shorter, and two pounds lighter each. Yeah, that's sexy.

That's pretty good - the money you gotta spend on those monsters it's worth it to wear 'em all the way out, I'm sure.

Short, light and sticky, just like I like my women.

New excuses:
Too much grip, bogged it off the line.
Too much grip, couldn't get the back end to rotate.
Pushed harder, forgot to suck less.
