Thread: New rubber.

so it's almost time for some new rubber.

what are you guys running?

and what do you guys think of the falken azenis st115's? i read the reviews and from what everyone else says, these seem to be the best bang for the buck. have any of you tried these?? and what do you think about running 225/45/17??

thanks for the info.

definetly do 225..i regret not going that size and i got stock...bah!! i got falken 512's and they are good

well i was gonna go 225 but i came across a deal on 215's...but 225 looks really nice on sentra's and if u can, get some spacers in the back so u can fill that gap...

falken tires r good none the less...

azenis are nice and sticky from what Ive heard but the thread life isnt going to be as good as a regular summer tire/all season tire so keep that in mind.

thanks for the input, i was thinking about 225 also. should i go with an all season like the kuhmo asx? or do a falken all season?

oh.. mofoka.. where can i find spacers at??

umm...i found them @ horsepowerfreaks.com and even right on b15sentra or sr20forum

hmmm ok, thanks.

i just looked them up on discount tire and they're reviews seem a little less than the 115s. but from your experience, how well do these corner??

matt nvm.. i think i made up my mind. i see they have the same treadwear, and for a dollar more, i might go with the 115s.. but wait.. tell me how these handle, cos i do have some time til i have to buy the tires.

also check out the Nankang NS-II's there a good high performance, all season tire at a great price, also read the reviews for them online, there pretty good..

hmm they're not on discount tire. i see the NS-I's.

the 512's are good all around but in my experience they slip on tighter corners or faster speeds...otherwise they are great and look nice for the money.

alright..good to know, thanks matt.

i might be misinforming you, sorry.. but im running 38psi and i need an alignment...for better traction recommended psi is 32psi so that might help on corners...

hm, i might let go some air after work and see how they are on 32 psi..
ill let you know

but overall its a very nice tire for the money and its all season, but imo u can get better.

did you lower the psi yet?? how does it feel now?? yea the reviews said they were good, but reviews for the other falkens said they were better, so i'll have to see still

32 is too low imo..it still slid because of the soft sidewall..i put up to 34-35psi and its perfect..since im saving on gas lol..im gonna put it back up to 38-39

lol ok so you did try it.. hmm maybe i will go with the 115s then. they're only a dollar more, with same tredwear.

39!?! in front tires? doesnt tire pressure reccomend 30- 35psi? is the ride stiff?

every tire can handle a different load...and yea the ride is stiffer, noisier cuz now the tires are harder but u save on gas!
