ITRCA

Time for some of the new 615's, now where to purchase. I've checked tirerack, and a few others but what I'm looking for at this point is price. Anyone know any local shops willing to ship, or not so heard of ones on the web? These would be in the 205/50/15 flavor. TIA

Honestly... I would go with a big name place like tirerack or discount tires for the sake of not having to worry about any BS with the purchase.
You might save $5-20 with one of the small places but whos to say that everything will be fine in the end. Sometimes it pays to geterdonrite.

Make sure you try http://www.vulcantires.com ! They are normally where I buy my azenis. Consistant & ususally within $5 including shipping compared to anything else I can find.

$356.00 shipped to Kansas

That's the cheapest place I have found them as well. Seems like I'll be going with them. Tire rack is over $400 before shipping.

I've bought from Vulcan also and am very pleased with their pricing and quickness!

I don't see any Falken on the tirerack website...???

Go to Vulcan. Cheaper too. Just ordered a set. Not in stock until the end of the month though.

Got mine from Vulcan as well. To bad for me, there has been a serious price drop for the 615's since I got em.
The customer service and communication were excellent.

Huh??? The Tire Rack does not carry Falken tires (or Hankook, Toyo, Nitto, or Nokian). So I don't understand how you could get a price from them.

I know of three places that carry Falkens at decent prices:

Vulcan (Utah)
Edge Racing (Florida)
Discount Tire (multiple states)

You'll need to compare prices after you figure in sales tax (usually only charged if you live in the state where the company has facilities) and shipping (Discount Tire offers free shipping; at other vendors, it depends on distance). Depending on where you live, one place may be cheaper for you but more expensive for someone who lives elsewhere.

Your right ken, it was discount tire I was thinking of.

which to get 82H, 89W, 95W?

Get whatever size you need. There is only one version (only one load index and speed rating) for each size. The specs are shown on Falken's website.

If you are getting them for 15" wheels on an ITR, you want 205/50-15, which is rated 89W.

So did you buy tires yet Dave?

Yes sir, and they are here and mounted.

You got it. Dave-ROR and I are planning some HPDE time so he can get the S out, and I can break mine in.

Hrm. Mine was on backorder when I ordered them, a week later I got an email saying they were shipping from Conn. (I'm in FL) I get a call later that day from the roommate saying my tires where in. I know you can get them from other places, but you'll pay a price. IIRC, you can go to your local discount tire, and they either have them, or can get them for ya.
