any soft compound tire like that is going to wear fast. if you are looking for a middle 300 treadwear is where you wanna look... decent performance and decent treadwear. the falkens would wear a bit better.

they last a lot better than the azenis you had up there. for a dd with no auto x action or maybe limited at best the 512 is a nice tire comfort and quiet nice wet/dry traction...
