Default falken azenis, how long do they last?

ok, its almost time to buy new tires.
and I'm pretty sure azenis' are the highest performing I could possibly get at their price.

but do they wear out really quick?

my current tires(nankang 195-50-15) arent all that great(not that bad..but not great either),
they dont grip super good, but are supposed to last pretty darned long.
now I have a feeling they didnt last due to my alignment(never got it done after I put on my suspension). So before getting new tires i'll definetely get an alignment.

NOW I am dropped over 2" with a camber kit.. but show little to no irregular wear.
(15x6.5 wheels probably help with that).

SO! how long do you think 205-50-15 falken azenis would last on my EG hatch?

on the average you will get out about 10-15k miles with some spirited driving. it all depends on the suspension setting and overall driving and surface you will be driving on.

if you don't get 20K out of them you are driving too hard.

Why bother getting a semi-race tire that isn't so great in the rain if you don't actually put htem to use???
