Aside from the A-046 Advan, which tire in stock size has the stiffest sidewall?

It's not available in the stock size, but the Falkin azeniz has the stiffest sidewall outside of R compounds...

It's still not as stiff as the A046 though.

Because of our tire size, the A046 is still one of the best.

Note the 245/45/17 azenis do not have a stiff sidewall because they are to big for the rim. Azenis recomends 225/45/17 but I have yet to find a person who has tried that size.

Azenis is 3-ply... should be very very stiff for street tires...

I run that size on the stock rims right now.... works fine with no noticable change in performance.

But the Azenis tires are definately louder than the stock tires.

For no noticeable change in performance, how do you drive your car? is that with any track time or autocross time on the tires?
