Default Tire Question - stock rims

I know it's an age old question however there always new products coming out from the various manufacturers, new exeriences people have had, etc, etc, etc. I have done a search but didn't find much that was recent, so I'll ask the question again anyway:

What tires are you using?
What size are they?
How long did they last?
What is your overall opinion of them?
What would you recommend?

Cheers in advance

rick, as I might have mentioned, you aint gonna get a tyre that wears slow with good grip. $$$ do mean something in this game, more you spend better product...'

I personally would say 'Azenis 195/55/15 but they really wear fast. Now remember the tyre is keepin the car in contact with the road and the way you drive, spend the money !!!!

Currently for street use, 195/50/15 Pirelli PZero (on OEM 15x6") but it is now not available in that size here in the US. I would assume you guys have some different models of tires there than here in the US.

Great street/Auto-X tire
Yes


Falken Azenis

Hard to tell with a track event and 15+ auto-x's too.
the BEST auto-x street tire and great track tire for tire life vs grip.
Definitely

I had been using Toyo T1-S in 195/55-15. Wasnt that impressed with them really. Poor steering response (esp compared to RE010) and not enough dry grip. Fantastic in the rain, though, and rode smooth. I would not recommend them at least at the price they go for ($100+ each). I got 20k out of them, and could probably go another 5k or so.

Falken Azenis in 205/50-15 is far and away the best deal for track/autoX IMHO

Just this past weekend got 205/50-15 Kumho MX's, so far they seem to be good but I only have about 150miles on them.
Couple of pics, not too many people have these yet.
