i was looking into the Yokohama AVS ES100...dirt cheap and heard some decent stuff on them or some Bridgestone Potenza RE750's little pricer but...better wear rating

You'll certainly get good performance out of the Azenis.

I wouldn't say that they last a while, but you can just about get two sets for what you want to spend, and two sets should last you a decent while.

I am also running Dunlop SP9000 (195x45x16@2.6 bar) and my opinion is that the tyre is to soft... when steering into a corner it feels like the tyre is beeing deformed first before turning...

But then again my bushings are being replaced after 12 years that might be helpfull :D

IMHO: Kumho, great in Rain and dry. I live in Seattle, so a rain tire is a must.

azenis are great, but if you want some longer lasting tires, yokohama es100s are great tires for the money also

I have toyo t1 proxes. Why? No sound deadening material = noise. Most quiet tires i've ever heard = t1 proxes Oh, don't do too bad on the handling either

Replaced my beloved A520s with the new ES100s, and I'm satisfied so far

seems like its a clear cut choice....either the yokohama's es100's or the azenis...hmm such a tough choice, i like the fact that the yokohamas have a little btter wear rating of 280, but everyone says the azenis are so nice for dry traction....dam these tire companies and making my decisions hard
