How did the handling change through the life of the tire?

Would you consider getting them again?

I just completed a track event with my new Azenis' and thought they were awesome tires, definately the best bang for the buck on any car related product I have ever purchased.

NO... [edit = yes]

12,000 miles is shorter than the stock units... granted I went to more driving events.... but still

You could sell them as drag slicks to the local stunnas. It is probably grippier than the BFG rainbow tires they use

come on, find any street tire can take 7 events, then tell me about it.
AVS-i used to be a hot tire for track, but one hot day street of willow will make it look like your passed away azenis

Bought mine back in Dec also... no track events, forget exact mileage, bout the same with 1/3 to 1/2 tread left... gave a copy of my recept to a friend a few days ago and Discount Tire on Ben White Blvd in Austin Tx offered him the same $58 a tire (205/50/15) that I got... the rest of the country is getting screwed on pricing!
