I pull 2.1 60' times on mine... Although, i hear the Falken Azenis are much better and comparable in price to the Kumhos...

What size are you looking for anyway...?

195/50/15 or 205/50/15's would be a good choice. I run 195/50/15's on my Slips...

well the khumos will last a lot longer. a LOT longer. the khumos also have superior traction in the wet. the azenis are considered a dry tire.

i have been using the khumos for a year now and love em. they are pleanty grippy for street driving. its almost time for me to get some new ones, after a year of abuse. my friend with azenis needs new ones after 2.5 months.

too expensive. their higher priced than the khumos yet dont offer a highly noticble difference in performance.
