Default Azenis or RE540???

Anyone with experience of both these tires?
At first I was gonna buy Falken Azenis (I’ve seen a lot of good things about those here on H-T), 205/50 15” and the price for those here in Sweden would be about 100 US Dollars.
But yesterday I found out that I can also get Bridgestone Potenza RE540 in 195/55 15” for the same amount of money.
I know that Australia get these tires as well and wondering if anyone can give me an advice what tire to get.

Unfortunately there’s no stress though cause it’s snowing
Outside my window now and the winter tires are on.

(B.t.w. the car is a stock Integra Type R)

Damn! I tried search, but couldn’t get any hits at all… gotta learn how to use it better I guess.
Thanks for the replys anyway, seems as the RE540 might wear out a little too fast, since I use my car as a daily driver (about 10 miles one way to work), but the price is tempting…

I believe Azenis comes in "R" compound in Europe so I will suggest RE540 instead.
Way better grip.

I've used a set of azenis, for street, found them to be extremely dangerous in the wet. car onced "aqua planed" under braking.

Really? So what tyres do you use now? I think all tyres will hydro plant under some given circumstances. How do you find it's cornering ability in wet and dry compare to stock RE010s?
