14" Azenis and Steelies . . . worth it?
i dont like how damn bulgy my 14's are right now, so i thought of getting azenis, but will they be worth the money? when i corner right now, it feels like tires flex to the point of coming off the rims . anyone have these tires, in my size. any feedback is appreciated. does any company make a lower profile 14" tire? like a 195/50/14

Get the azenis. Autocrosss on them. Love them. But also get winter tires. Azenis on steelies are VERY heavy.

Get the lightest wheels you can. Even with heavy wheels, though, the traction makes up for the weight. I Azenis - atleast for price.

azenis are dope tires at any size. if you are going to stay with the steelies and are looking for a all round good tire, go for the azenis. it's definitley worth the price and you'll love how they handle.

Scrap the 14 steelies, even my 13 inch steelies were very heavy. If you are serious about corners, why go with a low profile tire? I'm running 205/50/15 Falkens on 15x7, meaty! I can't imagine how hard those would be in a low profile form...bumpy!!
Azenis own you in the rain!

Azenis are fine in the rain so long as YOU aren't driving more agressive than you should be. I find them to still be grippier than my all-seasons, just not as forgiving.
And I believe the only size the Sports come in for 14" is a 60 profile.
