never heard of them
doesnt mean they are bad, just unknown. Falkens were unknown when the legendary Azenis 215 was released

with a max speed of 200mph they've gotta be awesome! i too have not ever heard of them. sporting a treadwear rating of 340 i don't think they can have much grip.

That's weird, They have the same temp and Traction as an RA1 but over 300% more treadwear...

the temp and traction values mean nothing in regard to cornering ability.

Temp and Treadware are general really. It's one of those "anything above X gets an A or a double A".
- Mike - 02-13-2006
Well, treadwear is a percentage over (or under) the number of miles it takes for the tread to be gone compared to some test tire.
Temp is the tire's ability to dissipate heat (seems a bit more arbitrary).
Traction is the tire's ability to stop a vehicle in a straight line on a wet pavement.
All very silly if you ask me

and Toyo changed the RA1's treadwear from 40 to 100 w/o changing the compound... :roll:

and mazda changed the hp rating of the rx8 (i think ford did this with a mustang too, no?) without changing the motor as well. :roll:
- CaptainHenreh - 02-13-2006
Didn't that come with the new SAE ratings? Not so much a changing of the HP, just the way it was measured.

Ah. Just like the "185 horsepower" Tiberon. What a fiasco.
- Mike - 02-13-2006
oh quit getting off topic. my entire point was to say to chad "so?"

I think I was finding more humor in it than tech. But I guess even that went over your 6'-2" head...

my head isn't 6'2"
