Falken FK 452 VS Azenis ST-115 Size and Spec?
Hey Guys.
I have a question about tire sizes and these tire options.
OK, I am using Falken cause I get a deal from Falken as a feature driver. Below cost plus ship.
So///that's why I am using Falken..ok.
I am using the FK 452's now and they lasted about 12K 14 months. Flipped too and BALD In the rear..
They were good handling tires but the treadwear blows.
I have a lowered E55 and I like to light it up, so thats probably a huge reason why the lifespan is so short.
Now Falken said I could try the Azenis
They are a Lux-Performance combo with a better tread rating.
The only prob is I am using FK 452 245-35-19 front , 275 35 19 rear on HRE M40 19's staggered.
The Azenis only comes in 275/30ZR19
I can't remember if my rears are 11 or 10 inches wide as well.
So do you guys think this size will work and should I just stay with the FK Series?
Thanx and here is a link to Falken http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/ST-115-12

There is a little over a 4% difference in the two sizes, or a little over an inch. You might want to investigate some more on the choices. If the 275/35 is close to the OEM size, the difference may present a problem with some electronics, ABS, ESP etc... Just sayin' Mike
