I'm looking for a set of street tires that I can use in the summer as well as autocross. Preferably something with a strong side wall and sticky in wet/dry conditions.

I have a set of Kumho 712 Ectas 86V that I will be trying out in the next few weeks.

 

What size 15 or 16"?

 

Ooops...sorry, 15".

 

My vote is for Yokohama A032R's then. If you can't stand the noise of those tires - then go with something like the PZero or Azenis

 

People say the Azenis are pretty squishy. I'll have to pick up a set and try them out for myself. Thank god their affordable.

To affordable, good performing tires

 

The Bridgestone S-03s are a great tire too (but $$)

 

Or, if you want to go fast, turn fast, and brake fast, buy an R compound tire like the AO32, Ecsta V700, or Hoosier tire, all DOT legal. You can run them on the street too, at the expense of tire life.

 

I was looking for a street tire. R compounds are nice but not streetable (weather and wears out fast).

I guess the Azenis are the best street/track tire out there that is affordable.

I ended up purchasing a set of Kumho 712's cause nobody had Azenis in stock (or so I thought). They are very durable from what I have observed and pretty good sidewall strength but I have nothing to compare it with.

Next time though, Azenis for sure.
