Default Which way to go with for tire choice.

I want to be more competitive in sts this year. Last year i ran kuhmo ecsta 712's on my 16' rims which sucked, unless it was rainy. I also have a set of 14" stock alloys. I am definately getting the falkens this year but i can't decide which to go with. If i were to get it on the 14"s i would just race on the tires. If i were to get on my 16's i would drive around on the tire. Is there much difference in grip between the 16" azeinas than the 14". Should i get the 14" falkens for racing and 16" kuhmos for rain events and daily driving or just get the azeinas in 16's and do everything on them for the summer?

also, knowing what kind of car you are using would be a big help.

In the 14" size, Azenis come in a 60 series size, which isn't ideal. I agree w/ RJ, so if you have to, sell your 16s and get a 15" wheel.
