Looks like Falken has addressed the high temp grip issue of the Azenis compound, at least the marketing guys think so:

Hopefully they also shaved a few pounds ...

If they really fixed the grip issue at higher temps, I may never buy an R-compound tire again.

Kevin,

You'll note that size is not on the US Falken site:

I posted the other link as it had more info on the compound change.

I've read that the previous Azenis Sport was made in many sizes not imported to the US, that may/may not still be the case.

Oh. Well, I'm really loving my Pirelli PZero Neroes, so I'll probably just end up getting another set of them in 225/50/16, anyway.
