Question Attn: Mehlt or anyone else who would know

I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a set of Falken Azenis Sports. I heard they were 78.00 a tire but shipping is supposably the most expensive part. I've checked their site and it was no help so any post would be greatful thanks guys

But the shipping will kill you at $200+

You may want to check the local shops (Sonic, etc..) and see if they can bring them in with a better break on the shipping.

The only place that I know of that has good shipping rates on tires is tirerack, but they don't carry Falkens.

Call up Falken tires for the distributor in Hawaii. He is a guy that rents space out of of Hypersports. He is the one that most shops by their falken inventory from. Buy direct and not get ripped off by other places. Oh and Sears brings them in as well...



Interesting story is that a friend of mine walked into hypersports and made like he knew the guy by dropping his name in the conversation... When all was said and done, he walked out with the tires costing only a little above web prices.

I may do this, too. My tires are THRASHED! Unfortunately I think I need to get all-season tires... going back to the mainland and won't really drive until this winter. Good AS tires?

Thanks. I don't need them before I leave (unless track day destroys the ones I've got) but I'll keep them in mind.

Sears does sell Falkens, but they do not bring in Azenis Sports and will not order them.

I did some homework for you (and maybe me). The number for the falken distributor:
From an email from Falken
Please try Automotion. They are the only distributor that we currently sell
to in Hawaii. 808-672-6869

Thank you for your interest in our products.

Dont bother getting an email response... You need to get the name of the dude to get a price break. It's all about your attitude.

I found a place on NASIOC on the Vendors for sale Forums they are called Edge Racing and they have the tires for 80.00 a tire and 178.00 shipped that was the cheapest i found it. but people have given me all kind sites like vulcantires.com and tires.com. thanks greg for the help though but i'm also torn between either getting kumho MX's, rotors by DBA and porterfields, well i already got the porterfields or getting Falken Azeins and destorying my rotors with the porterfields i don't know i have the cash just need to make up my mind

TIRES TIRES TIRES. MX's are better than nothing (read: RE-92's). I know you can order them from Tire Rack. Honestly, with all the trouble with getting Azenis, I'd go with the Kumho's. I have them at $428 shipped from Tire Rack... unless you can beat that (without sacrificing a goat to 'The Dark One') then go for it. Just my opinion, though. Did you call the Falken distributor?
