The Falken Azenis RT660 is widely regarded as a high-performance, cost-effective 200TW tire that excels in dry autocross and track-day environments. While it offers impressive grip, sharp steering response, and consistent performance once up to temperature, it is frequently criticized for its poor wet-weather capability, rapid wear, and reported manufacturing inconsistencies such as tread delamination.

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
63/100From 463 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Excellent dry traction and cornering grip
- Rapid warm-up time
- High performance-to-cost ratio
- Predictable and communicative handling at the limit
- Consistent performance across multiple laps or runs
Cons
- Poor performance and hydroplaning risk in wet conditions
- Reports of tread delamination, chunking, or cracking
- Rapid tread wear, especially under heavy track use
- Lack of audible warning before reaching the limit of adhesion
- Sensitive to heat soak on hot days or with heavy vehicles
Worth knowing
- Heavier vehicles (e.g., Mustangs, Camaros) tend to heat-soak the tires faster, leading to a noticeable drop in grip during long sessions.
- Users note that the tires run wider than standard sizing, which can lead to fitment issues or rubbing on vehicles with tight clearances.
- Front-wheel drive, camber-limited cars may experience accelerated shoulder wear if not managed with proper alignment and tire pressure.

What owners are saying
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of the scores above.
Community opinion highlights the Falken Azenis RT660 as a highly competitive and grippy 200TW tire particularly well suited for autocross at an accessible price point. However, drivers frequently report premature heat cycling, uneven wear, and delamination issues, especially during track sessions on heavier vehicles. Wet-weather and cold-temperature performance draw mixed to negative reviews, with users cautioning against highway hydroplaning and cold storage degradation.
