Default Good tire or not?
Well, finished my FI build on my 02 Camaro. Currently the car has 285/40/18 Toyo Proxy T1R's on the rear. I'm thinking about switching to a street drag radial D.O.T approved Falken AZENIS RT-615K...295/40/18. I did some searching, but didn't really come up with much. Any opinions on this setup?

The Azenis is not a drag radial. It is more geared to an autocross or road race application.

How do you like them, and what did you have before as a basis of comparison?
