i was just curious since it has a low tread wear rating and stuff like that, and it doesnt have the rim protector or things like that the falken has, but i dont feel like waiting until months to get the falkens since they are on back order

Dunlop makes em I think. They're not bad tires, I don't know that they're the best either. Just more basic, affordable performance tires.

So lets look at the tires (now that we konw wich ones they are)

Falken Azenis ST-115 (not to be confused with the Azenis RS)

Specs: Treadwear = 360 Traction (Wet Stright line braking)A Temperature = A


Sumitomo HTRZ II
\
Specs: Treadwear = 220 Traction (wet Straight line braking) AA Temperature = A

So.... Looks like the Falkens will last longer, but have slightly Less Wet traction capibility. The Sumitomos probably have better Dry traction (Due to the lower Tread wear) but that means they probably will not last as long as the falkens.


That better?
