Bad news for the Falken RT-615

[Mystikal]

Looks like the new Azenis Sport will NOT be shipping to NA in 225/50/15. Sucks for the Solo guys planning to dominate this season.

I have plenty of choices for my 17's though. :P

I think that is the first quarter releases. I thought the 225/50/15 was coming third quarter.

[Mystikal]

Nope. Old Falken info:



I did notice that a lot of the 3rd qtr releases aren't on the new one, but some are.

I decided to e-mail Falken. Here is the reply. Note that in the original text the should is italicized. So there is hope.



Yes. We should have the new RT-615, size 225/50R15 available at our Dealers around April of this year.

And on another note, you gotta love the support they have for the 16 inch crowd :roll:

"200AA UTQG qualifies for SCCA Street Tire Class competition"
yeah, qualifies for.....and should rock. too bad about the price though........ $$78>>$46 for 195/60-14 for example.


Any idea when they will stop selling the old Azenis Sports? I want to be sure to get a set before then.

Shipments have ended. Whatever stock is left, man.

[rwh11385]

:shock:

Vulcantire still has some 195/60-14........ I wish my car was fixed. People always give me shit when I buy more crap for a broken down car.
$222 to ensure tires for when it's done......perhaps.

edit: done. ordered while still cheap!

fuck, thats a shitty price increase...I was thinking the 14s would be in the 50-60 range. damn.

some local guys were telling me to chill when we were discussing because they were expecting 5-10%, "not bad"......but this sucks.

guess that is what happens people a company "establishes" their name and expects people to pay more for it now they are known. (like you mentioned earlier)

Conversely, my 17" ones are under other super-sticky options. They curved all the pricing.
