Falken Azenis RT 615 K 195/60 R14 Mitsubishi CE Mirage, 1.8L 15,000 miles August 18, 2026

Lots of spirited driving. Had so much grip in the dry, car handled well over changing surfaces. Lots of confidence in these tyres, lots of warning before losing grip.

Held up just as well in the rain. Have more grip in the wet than my regular tyres, despite being a "semislick".

A little loud on the highway, but nothing obnoxious.

Only downside if you can call it that, was how quick they wore. I abused these tyres, wether it was mountain runs or dodging idiots trying to take my door off in traffic.
I rotated these tyres when the fronts were about 75% the way through and the rears were about 45% worn. The rears then got to the depth indicator and the fronts had about 15% tread left. Nothing unexpected.

All round awesome tyre. Pretty sure I got the last set in my area, but I'll be getting a set when one comes up next.

Felt very safe driving on these tyres, makes other tyres feel dangerous.

Were cheap but wore down fast. Not a problem on a car with low annual miles.
Or on rear of fwd car.
Seemed to Not crack as badly as other brands, ok maybe 5yrs when car was recycled.
I wish there were a list of brands of non crack -ing tyres!!! No point hard wearing if cracked and thrown away with full tread
Were not expensive.

Petlas Imperium PT515 195/60 R14 Ford Transit Courier 15,000 miles October 11, 2024
The tire was solid, there was no fault or defect. The seller sent it very quickly and I did not pay for the installation. Petlas's best tire is IMPERIUM. I used Falken before. Falken is better quality than Petlas, its wet and dry ground grip is better, but it wore out quickly. Falken is a soft tire.

Westlake Radial RP18 195/60 R14 Toyota Tercel 2,000 miles November 19, 2023
I needed tires for my autoX competition car when I am not racing it. Primarily during winter months.

I purposely run a slight upsize to aid in ride comfort to help dull out the stiff suspension.

Price drove the decision. In all honesty I really like these tires for what they are. Surprisingly decent in the dry. Wet traction does suffer but as long as your mindful with your inputs its work able. I actually found myself driving around on these quite a bit this year chasing some tuning issues and I didnt want to cycle out the race tires.

Would absolutely consider again if I need another budget tire for a similar, non-primary driving situation.

Falken Azenis RT 615 K 195/60 R14 Honda Fit (Jazz) 8,000 miles November 2, 2023
My review is based on the RT615K+ variant.

Not many options in 14" sizing. Glad i went with the Falkens. Because of the high sidewalls their character will be a bit different from more normal sizing.

Really enjoyed having these on. Will likely get them again. Just a very friendly 200TW tyre. Decent dry grip but outshone by other 200TW. Took a little bit too get heat into on the street but easier than RS4 IMO. Wet grip surprisingly good in light to medium rain. Breakaway always very progressive and easy to manage. Lasted 12,000kms on my car with a lot of very heavy miles, one trackday, and bad alignment chewing out the insides.
Worked okay down to 5C, though harder to get fully warm at those Temps.

A good beginner semi-slick or a sporty daily for someone living in warmer climates. Better than RE003/Trackhawk Indy 500. Worse than RS4

Westlake Radial RP18 195/60 R14 Toyota Tercel 100 miles January 16, 2023
I only have less then 100miles on these. So far much nicer then the 10yo Falken 912s they replaced. These are a slight oversize for my car to help cope with the race spec suspension on my car which is set up for competitive autocross. The tires might see 1000miles a year. So I did not need anything special. Just something for the offseason and inbetween races. The car is not driven much beyond racing it, if I do its to work on it or the occasional cars and coffee. I might do some race stints far away next season so these will be my travel tires to avoid anything happening to the Falken 660s I race on. So far the ride is most excellent. Like disturbingly good. And the grip is actually decent given the design criteria. The few times I purposely pushed the car in the wrong places to see what they would do resulted in fine dry grip and manners. No rain or snow yet. Steering inputs are smooth and direct. I run the tires at 28psi front, 26 rear...car weights 2100lbs. Fwd turbo. I do not hoon much on the street the car is numbered and stickered up so generally pretty average other then some WOT pulls when I am working on ECU tunes.

Awesome tyres, replaced the Supercats i had on the car. Huge decrease in road noise and grip better in the wet than the supercats did in the dry. I tend to drive twisty costal roads and they are superb on the corners. Only downside is they feel skiterish on gravel roads and mud tracks.
