Falken Azenis RT660+

The Falken Azenis RT660+ is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize handling and dry grip in the ultra-high performance summer category. Its dry grip score of 8 and handling score of 8 make it a competent performer on dry roads, although it doesn't quite match the category's top performers like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. In terms of wet grip, the RT660+ lags behind with a score of 7, compared to the category average of 7.6. This could be a concern for drivers who frequently encounter wet conditions. The tire's noise and comfort scores are on par with the category benchmarks, making it a relatively quiet option for a performance tire. When compared to its competitors, the Azenis RT660+ lacks a treadwear warranty, which might be a drawback for those looking for long-term value. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S offers superior grip in both dry and wet conditions, making it a better choice for those who need maximum traction. However, for weekend track enthusiasts who prioritize handling and dry performance, the RT660+ remains a viable option. If you need a tire that excels in wet conditions or offers a treadwear warranty, consider alternatives like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. The RT660+ is best suited for those focused on dry performance and handling responsiveness in a summer tire.
