[s-cars] RE: was Blose now tires

[Taka Mizutani]

Let me clarify-
Falken Azenis refers to several tires.

The Azenis Sport, like what Pizzo had on his S4, are not available in
255, very limited sizing. The next gen 615 is not out yet.

The FK-451 and ST-115 is not in the same class of grip and handling as
the Azenis Sport, which is getting pretty close to an R-compound.

The F1 GS-D3- yes, lots of great reviews for this tire. I'd go for
those, with the Kumho MX as the budget choice.

If the RE-070 was offered in other sizes, for your driving, I'd
recommend them- they are awesome tires. Really wide for a 225.
