about how many miles do u think they would last with spirited driving and an autocross about 1 every 2 monthes

 

If we are talking about 205 wide 16" Azenis on a WRX probably around 15-20k miles I'm guessing......... it's not like you will be spinning them much, but the weight of the car cornering hard on 205's will probably shorten there life somewhat from autoX'ing

 

I just boght rims with these tires.......the tires only have like 10% tread left but they are vibrating at 80+ mph, Do you guys think its the tires because they are worn or maybe off balance..........Do any of you guys experience this with azenis.

 

Wheels are out of balance, or the tread is worn irregular. They are noisy, but don't vibrate. I'd take the wheels and get them rebalanced.

 

i think it is due to the tread.....but the tread looks evenly worn except for the inner edges. Its getting worse by the day

 

If the wheels/tires you bought only have 10% tread left and have not been balanced since they were mounted new I'll almost guarantee you they are out of balance at this point.

 

I think I'll take them to get rebalanced and see if that worx! anyone have the hookup on new tires?

 

I liked the Azenis as a very aggresive daily driver along with the occasional weekend autocross event. The only slight concern I had is interstate driving durring summer rains with standing water on the roads but 'wet' traction is stellar. The tires are no doubt a bit noisey compared to the typical high performance 'looking' tire and they do transmit more road vibrations and inperfections. They honestly could get away with charging a lot more the Azenis RT-215 than they do.

Falken will be producing a new RT-615 Azenis which looks to be very promising. I think the tire will be replacing the RT-215, but I'm not certain on that.

 

I had Azenis ST-115 225 40 18 on my WRX and they were the best tire I've evr owned. I put them through bad alignment, balance issues, and long gaps between rotation and still managed to squeeze about 25k out of them. They still had a few thousand miles of tread left when I sold the rims
