SCCA has been made aware of an update coming to the Falken Azenis RT660- dubbed the RT660+, expected to land in early 2025. Per Falken, the update is intended to enhance handling characteristics and presents a new sidewall look but carries over the same tread compound from the current RT660. SCCA’s expectation is that the new tire will not present any major change in performance. Final decisions regarding eligibility will not be made until the tire is available and testing has confirmed performance. However, the intention is to have a transition period where both tires (RT660, RT660+) are eligible for SSC and CSX before moving to the RT660+ as the spec tire for each class no later than August 1. Members are encouraged to make tire purchasing decisions with this information in mind.
