The Azenis is a good tire but it wont last very long and is only a summer tire. If you need something a little more versitile for other seasons. I would reccomend the Kuhmo ECTSA Supra 712. Great bang for your buck tire, and a much better tread life, so you wont be buying tires as often. you can get them at tire rack for $68 each. Hope this helps

If you are looking for A/S, I can suggest Centennial Interceptor. You probably have never heard of it. It is made by Dunlop for Discount Tires only. It is abot $67 each

dunno about under $70.. but close to that budget.. I'd look into Falken Azenis, Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's, Bridgestoen Potenza RE730's, if you want to spring a little more look into the Bridgestone Potenza S-03's or Dunlop SP9000's..

I have the Bridgestone Potenza RE730s and they work for me. They ride better in the rain and snow then my stock tires.

yeah I've got a lot of friends who got the Bridgestone Potenza RE730s and are very happy w/ them.. a lot of them got it when costco had them for sale and they also had those Costco coupons where you get like $50 off a set of 4.. I think they got their tires for $3XX something taxed, mounted, etc... I think it was around $350 or so.. I forget.. one of my friends made me go so he could use my membership card....

I just stopped by BJ's wholesale tire shop and they wanted $139 for a single Michellin 205/50V15... The Sales person said michellins are premier quality tires and have silica in their composition which extend the tread life longer than any other road time. is this true or am i getting warm puffs up my wazoo?

*boggled*

alotta tires have silica in their composition.
treadwear rating usually gives you an idea of how long the tire will last.

michelin does make good tires like the pilot sports that go into bmw, vettts and otehr cars.. as for the xgt v4, they suck ***.. i work at costco part time actually and the only reason i will buy tires from there is cause they are cheap as hell, free to rotate and balance as often as needed and the road hazard warranty is great, get a nail in the tire, blow it out, wear uneven, you get a proratted tire to put on the car.. you dont get this warranty when you get the tires from tirerack.com

well you could always get bridgestone potenza s-03. they're 195/50/15 though, but tirerack was having a special for 79 each, don't know if it's still going.

I just had some Azenis...didnt last long enough, about 10 months for me without any track days this year because ive been busy, BUT i do drive the **** out of my car on the backroads to and from work every day and on the weekends. Last month of the tires was kinda scary because there was almost no tread and in the rain i would just hydroplane over any standing water whatsoever and sometimes the car would just decide not to turn in a turn and go straight.

I just got some Yokohama AVS Es100's and I like them a lot, they are pretty sticky and they will last longer than the Azenis and also arent as wide which is good because i run stock wheels and because of the extra width of the azenis on how wide my wheels are they felt kinda sloppy, really the azenis work best in 205/50/15 on a 7" wide wheel. I got my AVS ES100's for $72 each from Tirerack and they come with a warranty. So far I like them as much as I liked my AVS Intermediates and I liked those a hell of a lot more than the Azenis because of how it just made my car feel.

All seasons are for ******, if you really wanna drive in the snow get some snow tires, if you want to drive in the summer you need some sticky tires. All seasons blow goats every which way, they dont do anything well enough.

I agree. I just put es100's on my car and they are very good for the money. 205/50-15 for 74 each at tire rack.

I've had kumho 712's, p700z's and s03's on my car. s03 are the best, but expensive. stay away from the p700z's... I hated them.

the es100's are a nice split between all of these tires. handles very nicely and are pretty quiet for a high performance tire.

Im seeing that people say that the azenis's and maybe other tires work better running on 195's than 205 when using stock GSR rims...

Does everyone agree?
