Default STS tire yoko vs azenis

I've got some life left on the 215's but am wondering what I'm going to put on next. I'm looking at the Yoko A-O43 and the Azenis 615.

The tredwear is lower on the yoko, which doesn't really eman anything. I can't find width specs for the 615's yet. I was wondering if anyone has used the yoko. I don't know how either tire handles heat, but I'm sure they would be great for the solo sessions and the ocassional track day. (the 215's do alright on track)

Anyone?

The A043 is pretty nice, but it's heavy, and not as wide or as sticky as the "fast" tires like the Azenis. Go for the falkens.

The A043 is the OEM rear tire on the 15"-wheeled MR2 Spyder. It's very similar in my experience to the S03 in terms of grip, wear and behavior. I had them on my Si as street tires, autocrossed on them once and they were better than I expected but nowhere near an Azenis.
