Default falken azenis

Is there a left and right specific tire for the falken azenis, because if there isnt then the stripe running around the tire would be on the inside of the right side and to the outside of the left side. Also how are the azenis compared to Kumho Ecsta MX, because they are about the same price?

The Falkens are directional and yes they do have a right/left tire.

As far as performance, they are awsome for the price point. I say get them.

When you buy tires you should buy either in a pair or all 4. The falkens anzies have a red dot on the outside that lines up with the valve stem, it makes for better balance. Most of your directional tires have this.

The tires say inside and outside on them as well. I have 2 brand new 205/50/15 Azenis forsale if you are interested.

Isn't the 555r a drag radial? If so, it all depends on what you're doing with them. Azenis are more for road racing/autocross and have a very stiff sidewall, which doesn't really make them the best choice for drag. I don't have any personal experience with the 555r so I can't comment on those.
