Anyone know a cheap source of Azenis RT615Ks 195/60-14? I have found them on ebay for $396 with free shipping is the cheapest so far. Online tire is $397 including shipping.

Because they're pretty much the only performance tire in this size, and also the cheapest.

starspecs are avilable in 14"s, though are quite a bit more (althopugh they're currently on closeout at tirerack in 185/60/14

Yeah, on closeout, with shipping, they're only like 40% more expensive.

Maybe I'm "doing it wrong", but when I checked for the "closeout price", the price I got was $2.00 per tire more than the ZII's. Not much of a deal if you ask me.

In reply to kazoospec:

Tire rack has been weird on closeouts lately......the worst I've seen thus far were the Pirelli snow tires in 195/60r15.......the closeout ones are $96/ea while the non-closeout ones are $83/ea. Same tire by the looks of it even...

their closeout pricing is generally a bit more attractive with a wholesale account login

This. And I like the Azenis on the Scirocco.

I may end up with Federal SS-595 just to try it but if I find a good enough deal on Azenis I will run those.

Thanks for the suggestion on Vulcan. They had $32 off the whole order because of overstock.
