both are great tires. the direzzas are like glue though when they get hot... like tar to pavement.

any soft compound tire like that is going to wear fast. if you are looking for a middle 300 treadwear is where you wanna look... decent performance and decent treadwear. the falkens would wear a bit better.

they last a lot better than the azenis you had up there. for a dd with no auto x action or maybe limited at best the 512 is a nice tire comfort and quiet nice wet/dry traction...
