Need some new rubber..size may vary 15 or 16..Need good grip AND wear..

 

well i have azenis and love them too death. but if i have to get new ones...i'll get yoks.

 

Give the Yoko's a try.

 

i would like to know this too!

 

Im very very impresssed with my Azenis!!

 

very impressed with the dunlops sp5000's i was just driving in heavy rain a few hours ago and the traction was unbelievable.

 

i have a set of kuhmos and i like them alot, good stick, also then have been holding well int he rain....

 

I have the Ecsta Supra 712's and they are pretty good for the $$$ THey look noce too.

 

Kumhos are great for the money -- but for like 50$ more you can get far superior tires...I like my kumhos, but Im getting sp5000's next or potenzas...

 

well so far it looks like people prefer the kuhmo's instead of the falken's. i don't own any of those tires but i'm surprised because of all the praise i hear about the falkens

 

I run the kumhos right now and havent been that impressed. THe wear is awesome but I need a stickier tire with all the traction issues I have. Dont say slicks cause I am getting a set of those..

 

If you need good grip AND wear, you will need to move your price range UP

 

loving my azenis. handle very well and do alright on wet surfaces.

 

Nobody ever praises the Kumho MX, so I will. It's a good compromise between the 712 and the Azenis. A lot stickier than the 712 with better wet weather capability than the Azenis as well as better life. Not quite as good in dry weather as the Azenis, but not that far away. Cheap, too!

 

I like my Bridgestone Potenza S03s. They have great dry traction and amazing wet traction.

 

I've run kumho's, falkens, parada's, yoko ES100's(sumpin like that), and the falken azenas(sp?).

Personally... for grip and wear the yoko's take the cake, but for pure grippyness get the azenas.

IF I WERE YOU I WOULD GET....advan Neova's AD-07 :drool:

 

Thats what I am doing next

 

IN the Garage, waiting for me to mount them like the bad son-a-bitches the are.

 

I live in the northeast and for the summer I am going to get some new rubber on Rotas. Then in the winter go back to the stock fat fives. For a seasonal tire what would you guys suggest? Remember I am in the northeast so I need some good tires for the rain and obviously the more wear the better.

 

Kumho's are good tires for the money. But when compared to the falken's or maybe toyo's they don't come close to that kind of quality.

 

The Falkens dont last too long, especially if you push them.

Ive had ~25k on my 712's now and theyre still kickin. The Falkens are a good tire, but if its a daily driver that accumulates a decent amt of miles and treadwear is a concern, skip them. And you dont have to spend a lot to get a decent tire. All of the above are plenty competent.

If you dont mind going with a 195/50/15, you can get S-03's for $79 a pop at Tirerack.
