The Azenis are soft compound tires so it will wear fast. It will depends how you use it, but yes they dont last very long.. Snow is Big NO, this tires are not all season tires only track or street use.

Yokohama- Parada, Spec 2 tires are great too, may be a tad less sticky than the aziens but they stick like glue and are great in the rain too. And they should last a good while too.A great choice for those of us who don't race and need longer lasting tires than the Aziens. They sell for $89 each for the 205/45-16 at the Tire Rack and like the Aziens they are summer only tires. Not all season rated.

Hey,

I'm interested in this too. I can't get GForces in Australia and I need a legal tyre (sorry tire) for the class I drag race in. Are these for me????

I don't think the Parada's come any smaller than 16 inch???

i would say bridgestone potenza s0-3's. great tire for rain and dry, i don't know about snow because i haven't experienced that yet. I have had them on my car for a good 6 months now and i can see slight wear, but they still grip good. THey are 76 a piece for 15's. i bought them from discount tire direct.

I've got Dayton Daytona HR's on my car. Now this is my daily driver so I wanted some that would last a while. 50k later I like the Daytona's, they grip and handle just fine for street use and did I mention I have 50k on mine

Azenis are right out for me... I'd wear em out in 6 months.

Edit: 185/60/14, $234 for 4 out the door with road hazard warranty!

Good question, I never looked for them in a 15. The spec-2 are fairly new so they may make them by now, HAve mine for a week now and Love them, even in a torential rainstorm it never hydoplaned at 80 mph. great alernative to a Azien in my book for those that need longer tire life and Maximum traction. These are FAR better than Pirelli P-7000 Supersports. Or any other tire I have run to date. Aziens are too soft a compound for my needs. I need to get at a minimum of 25,000 on a set of tires and have them cost under $100 each including mounting and balancing. And NO you don't want to even think of driving in the snow with these. And they have a very High treadwear rating. And the a very High traction rating. I love these things. And its been a long time since I've had that to say about a tire.
