Ok guys, i got my rims but i need tires, any of you guys have these or know about them ?? Falken Azentis 245/35/19F, 275/35/19R TreadWeart:360 Traction:A Speed:Z those are the specs. Thanks for your inputs

 

well, you're talking about the Falken Azenis ST-115's right? if so, 275/35 is not available right?

anyway, the ST-115's are great tires. they're quiet for their size. they have great treadwear, and the performance factor is pretty good. they're more on the comfort, slight performance minded (very occassional spirited driving).

with whatever you decide on, these tires are worth it. you may want to look into Fuzion ZRi's as well.

please post up the size of your wheels because i may have other need to know facts about these tires.

 

Yea, its the ST-115, my rim size are 19x8.5F and 19x9.5 rear, yea i rather have comfort and more treadwear since it cost so much to change tires, thats why i was lookin into the AZENTIS, treadwear is 360 more than anything tho, i hope these tires are good in WET condition. I love driving in the rain, but i need that extra control

 

Oh and yea the rear are only ava in 275/30/19 but there should be no height difference, my mistake on the earlier thread, anyone runing 245/35 and 275/30 on their G's? hows the ride ?

 

there is a difference in height. i'm running 275/30's on my coupe right now. i feel just about everything on the road. you have to remember, it's a given because of the profile @ 30.

the sizes you posted are good for those rim widths.

 

cool thx sen_jen so with the difference in front and back 35/30 is your car evened out in height ? meaning since the front is usually lower than the back, is it about the same height all around ? thats what i meant in no height difference. i have 350Z H.Tech on my G coupe, front is dropped lower than the back, so with the 30's in the back, i would think the height might just even out...i caught the mod bug

is there a medicne i can take for this mod bug

 

oh, anyone got some pic up close on their rear wheels with 275/30 ? thanks

 

Alright folks, i got my new rims and falken azentis ST115 on and they are sweet! The tires are awesome to say the least.

I tested the tires out on a straight street near where I was at, is it normal for the slip light to come on the first time around since the rims are bigger? 19'' to be more exact. The slip light came on for less than 2 sec. was more like a blink and it turned off. After that, light was gone, never came back on...hopefully.

well im patienly waiting for my tire sensor light to come on, but nothing so far...maybe my OBD is having a brain fart right now. Not complaining though, just waiting till it does.

This coming satuday im going in for a wheel alignment since I haven't done it after i dropped my car. I don't want these new shoes to wear out easily. Thanks for all the imputs everyone shared. As always, G35 forum members are the best in helping a fellow G out.

 

Bro, at some point in this thread will you please stop saying "azentis"......there's no "t". I know it's petty on my part, but I just can't take it.

voila........

 

pics grasshoppa, pics!!! nah, jp. post up some pics of your new goodies.

 

yea i need to get a hold of a digital camera first, let me say again about these tires. You may call me crazy for trying this on some brand new tires but hey, someone needs to test them out.

So i went out to test the tires on certain road types, where i knew it wasn't a flat smooth surface. I have to say, these tires are awesome, almost feels like the OEM 18'' tires, even tho there low profile 35F/30R. These Falken are a new design with some vaccum noise absorbing material imbeded in the tire themselves, read more about it at falken website. I thought at first, is that really gonna make a difference? But to my surprise, it sure does. NOW, that doesn't mean nor do I recommend you go driving through potholes and every ditch you see on the road. These are still low profile and can damage your rims/tires. My road condition were, a bit bumpy, nonflat, curved roadways. No potholes, no ditch.

I would recommend these tires to ppl that are into the comfort lvl of your stock 18'' but yet still have that sweet look of a profile. Performance wise, I couldn't say, i didnt take it to a track or did i try to go 55 on a 35 mile curve.

Hope this helps. and sorry for no pics, i need tp get a digital camera

 

^ funny because the tires have a film on them that in most cases you're not able to really push it to it's extreme. again, the falken's are great, and i've loved them since their debut, but since trying the ZRi's, i have to say the ZRi's perform better than the ST's. not better than the GRB's though.

what kind of rims are you running.

 

where did you get your Falkens from?....how much for the set of 4?

btw...have you had a chance to test out their performance handling characteristics on a more spirited drive

for anyone: so the ST115's are supposed to be "quiet" performance tires? Are the ST115's good in wet/raining weather?

thanks for the help

 

They are quieter than most in the same performance bracket. I give them an A for traction in raining weather. Did about 80-100mph in heavy down pour on the highway seemed fine, of course this wasn't in the G, but in a modified 2G DSM, but its not about the cars...its the tires

When winter is over, in MN, and I get new rims for the G... I'd probably go with some RT-615's or BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD or similar dedicated summer tires. FYI...check for sizes first...I don't know about really good summer tires in 19's. Just my .02!

 

I had the Falkens St-115's and now have the GRB FK-451's. Here is my take. As stated above by Sen Jen, the GRB's are a better performance tire but have a lower tread wear rating and are louder than the ST-115. Both tires do great in the rain and are a good value tire. The only reason I did not get ST-115's again was because they did not come in a 245/40 series but only a 245/35 series. Living here in Florida I have no need for snow tires but only summer tires.
