I've never driven a car with ST-115's but currently I have FM901s on all four tires. They're pretty sticky and not too bad in the rain. When I first got them they gripped like crazy, but right now negative camber and lack of toe are wearing them down pretty fast.

how long have you been using them? i know they arent rated as high as the falkens as far as tread wear, but if i only have to have like 1 set per summer, that would be just fine.

You should be fine with one set per summer.

I've heard they have soft sidewalls. Soft sidewalls= bad response.

i think im gonna give 'em a try, cause i can pick up a set for $64 (all 4)....
im using 15's, and the current size i hae is 195/60/R15, but the dunlops are 195/50/R15, so would the smaller sidewall make any real difference as far as clearance and stuff like that? |

well my bro has the falken azenis sports and they grip really well. they also grip very well in the rain. he has 225/45/17. he had his for about a year then had to get new ones cuz of an accident. i would go with the falkens butt hats just me. just my 2 cents. He is buying 225/45/17 Azenis ST-115s tomorrow, i'll tell how he likes them later.

turns out, i didnt buy the dunlops cause the price was actually 64 each, and i found them online for 58 a tire...go fig. i still think im gonna give em a shot for two reasons. the first, falken doesnt make azenis in a 15, and second, they are cheaper than falkens anyways.....well, i will keep you guys posted
