Does anyone have any experience with these tires? They seem pretty good. 205-50-15 is the size I'm plan'n on get'n. They would be going on Buddy Club P1 Racing 2 wheels(15x6.5). They seem like they would be pretty decent tires. According to Discount Tire they are rated pretty well. I have some Azenis on my car now, but I was looking for something a little bit different and that might last a little while longer but would still give me some performance seeing as how I go mountain driving about once a month. Any advice would be appreciated.

They're okay, but they're way overpriced. Their performance is similar to the Yokohama ES100, Kumho SPT, and other "budget performance tires", but they cost almost twice as much. So you can get the SPT or ES100 and spend half as much for roughly the same performance, or you can get a much better tire (like the Goodyear F1 GS-D3, if it comes in the size you need) for the same money.

Short recommendation: Get the Kumho Ecsta SPT. Their dry grip is decent, although not at the Azenis level. In exchange for a bit less dry grip, you get outstanding wet traction (unlike the Azenis), much longer treadlife (typically 30-45K miles, vs 10-12K for the Azenis), and a lower purchase price ($56/tire in 205/50-15 or $60/tire in 195/55-15, vs $72 for the Azenis.

Another option, if you want something grippier than the SPT but a bit longer lasting than the Azenis, is the Kumho Ecsta MX. Dry grip is better than the SPT, but not as good as the Azenis. Wet traction is worse than the SPT, and so is the treadlife (15-20K miles). Roughly the same price as the Azenis.

Longer recommendation: Read this previous post, which was written for the ITR but applies equally to any Integra using 15" wheels.

That's the wrong size for a '91 Civic. And they aren't "great" when you take their high price into account.

 

i have boughten them before and was impressed with the traction compared to the yok es100 thou.. but they are overpriced for what you get.. stick with the kumho spt...
