I was wondering if anybody got the chance to try them since they are pretty new and come stock sizes. Thanks!

I'm also curious if anyone else has tried the Kumho Ecsta V720, at 305/30R19, they're $272.61. Where the Azenis RT660 are $295.69.

It’s a good looking tire too. So does gotta try it sooner or later. I’m no where near needing tires, cuz I’m the type to venture out when it comes to tires. I’d be fore sure certain making that 315/30 will lure people in.

Not on a mustang, but I know they’re gaining popularity in the spec Miata community. Couple guys down here swear by them and they’ve been faster than Re-71rs. I plan to try them once my cup2s cord

If they are indeed faster than RE71Rs then that's awesome. I love those on my other fun car and they are not just fast but a very solid and communicative tire.

I was actually thinking to get the Azenis as well when I am done with my Cup2s on this set of wheels. Whoever tries them first let us know :)

315/30/19 for rear would definitely lure people in.

Based on the sizes available it's definitely an autocross focused tire. 315/30-18 is run by every Catfish and C5 Corvette from here to the moon. And they fvck CAM and B Street hard. Like bent over by a Louisville slugger hard.

Wonder if the mechanical grip is similar or close to the Cup 2?

Do you think it can be a good street tire?

They have the 315/30/19 in there too. But yeah from what i have been reading they do really well for autocross. And the 350 is a pretty heavy animal so I am not sure. At this rate I will get them for the ST come spring time and take it from there.

Eh...

I ran 71Rs on the street for a small time once and they were fine as in it's not like they felt dangerous but there's better options. I think for a strictly street tire, the Conti ContactSport is probably the best overall in terms of price and performance without feeling like a compromise too far on the streetability side. 4S is a better tire but wow is it expensive, last time I checked.

2017 GT350 now gone to a great home.
I see on the Falken site they make the 295/35 and 305/35 base OEM size. I checked with Discount tire and they only have the 295/35 available now.
