Falken Azenis....
best bang for the performing buck.....

if the 200treadwear rating is honestly for real....then they should last longer than the 010s .... plus they dun chunk at the track....

S03 is a street tire !!!! A032 is a "R" compound tire so how could you compare the two?

IMO, S03 more practical for street but you you want sticky tires then go ADVANs.

I run a set of AO32R's on the street -- they stick great and handle rain okay as well.
i run them on the street as well, and they are good. They are a little more scary in the rain since mine are nearing the end of their lives.

I don't know anything bout the A032R but I'll be getting the S0-3 if my budget can handle it. If not, then Azenis for me.

I never tried the Falken Azenis, but I heard a lot of good thing about them.
I tried both A032R and A048 on the street, I would say they are both overkill for street use, but those ADVAN tire does look cool!! I may just get them again once for my next set of tire!!

I ran AO32s on the street for a while...they work awesome provided you want to buy a set all the time...I got 4 track events out of them also but near the end of their life they get harder from many heat cycles...Im waiting on Dunlop DOj1s to try this coming season

Which Tires will u go for A032R or S03? and why?
I run AO32R on the street because I want the most out of my cars handling and braking.... they are lightweight, R-compound sticky, look great and also handle rain just fine (unless they are old and worn down). I love the difference, it is completely worth the extra money to have this kind of perfromance increase, in fact often I am LOL driving because it is almost ridiculous as far as superb performance with the AO32R. Also important is that without these tires my GSR's 11" big brake upgrades would not be taken to their maximum capabilities. The AO32R are noisy as fawk, but I couldn't care less about (tire) noise, I have an Apexi N1 and a testpipe, and the AO32R are louder than the exhaust below vtec... really, they are loud.

Muckman here has S03 and loves them, I am sure they will last twice as long as the AO32R but will never be as grippy or as light. He got his from tirerack in 195/50r15 for under $80, thats crazy cheap for S03. The S03 are one of the best street peformance tires out there right now, pretty aggressive characteristics, but still a street tire in my opinion....

if you have the option of running the super-sticky DOT-legal R compound AO32R, then you should take that opportunity and go for it!
