711's are garbage. 712 are okay. I have them on the beater.


why not Azenis?

Sumitomo HTR200. Cheaper than the kuhmos, have better traction, higher tread life, quieter, and are non directional which means you can rotate them properly instead of only front to back.

I'd like to know also, because I need to replace my tires and I really liked my Azeni's but they were just a bit too wide.

For the money both are excellent. For all out performance I'm gonna guess the Azenis are better. Azenis have a stiffer sidewall and great dry traction. Azenis are damn heavy though.. The Yokos are not as stiff but have great wet traction.. Azenis would be the better choice for the track. Yokos would work really well for wet/dry everyday driving..

azenis gay in water....es100 are much better in water....both have reenforce sidewalls....i think es100 handles better but azenis are better at the limit if u know what i mean...80% of people use them to auto-X so that should say alot about how they are on dry pavement....i have tried both and es100 last much longer with my driving...

The falkens azenis are good tires but we're too wide so it rubbed A LOT. I just bought some Kuhmo Ecsta and i'm satisfied with them . I'd recommend them. But if you want something other then those id say Yokohamas
