I just ordered a set... 235/40/17 Hankook R-S2 Z212's.
I was a little hesitant, since I don't know all that much about the tread compound vs. the Falken Azenis Sports, however, the 235 Hankooks are just as wide as the 225/45/17 Azenis (both have 8.3" listed as contact patch width), and they have a gearing advantage of being a 40 series tire (.5" smaller overall diameter). Plus they're a little cheaper than the RT-215's and a lot cheaper than the RT-615's. I'm a little concerned about the 9.5" section width on the Hankooks (vs. the 9.1" of the Azenis)... it might lead to rubbing in the rear on my car again, or more sidewall flex than the Azenis Sports... I guess we'll find out!
Someone with a set of wheels that clear my StopTechs (Dean, Tyson) needs to get a set of the RT-615's so we can trade wheels for an event and compare tires!
