My Azenis SPORTS(RT-215) were loud.....
The ST115 is a completely different tire.
This is the Azenis Sport(RT-215) I haveon my Miata.

It is almost as fast as an R compound, but it lasts much longer. Great inexpensive tire for track weekends.

My friend had ground control on his prelude
The perch snapped while he was driving. Right side crashed to the ground and really messed up alignment. After getting it fixed, the car still steers to the right.

I'll tell you, but I don't know if I'd recommend them again......
RDMWheels.com is who I purchased the wheel/tire combo from. They had the best prices by far! It was a special order color from Japan, almost all of the RPM2's are sold in Hyper Silver. It took about 10 weeks for the package to get to me, which wasn't bad considering I know some who have waited 5 months for the same wheels.
However, when the wheels and tire got to me they were not properly balanced, or even fully round! There were strips of up to 10 tape weights per wheel. No consideration for the tires orientation was made when they were balanced at RDM. It was like they just threw the wheels on in any arbitraty position without concern for all of the factory marks.(red/yellow/green sidewall dots that corespond to low/high/heavy spots) I had to go to my local discout tire to have them balanced on a Hunter 'Road Force' type balancer. Discount removed all of the weights and oriented the tires correctly. This resulted in about 2 small tape weights per wheel. Discount also found that one of the tires I was sent from RDM was actually out of round and would not balance. Thankfully, they warrantied it to Falken for me so I didn't have to mess with sending the tire back to RDM in Florida for a replacement.
The total package from RDM was only $1650 delivered, but it did cost me another $100 to have the tires balanced on a proper balancer. Even with the added expense, I still think it was a good deal! However, if you expect a properly balanced package to arrive at your door, you don't want to buy from RDMwheels.
