Im looking at picking up a set of these in 195/50/15's for my hatch. Has anyone had any experience with these tires?

 

 

great performers, 1gen's were a little loud, they wear a little faster than id like - but acceptable

 

great rain tire, wears fast for 300tread. I used 205/50/15 from about 25-65K miles... so I know what they can do. they grab well all the way to nothing. however, if you have tuned suspension... oy! rotate OFTEN... Azenis hold better on dry pavement... for sure... but steering response on the RE730 is very nice. they lasted me anything from 15-20K miles... rotated often closer to 20K on a set.

 

I was looking on the tire rack and it looks like they upped the treadwear rating and have dealt with the noise issue. Ill gice a review when I pick up a set soon

 

Picked up the tires today and so far so good
For sure they are leaps and bounds above the stock Mich. junk.

I'll post a decent review after I rack up some miles

 

ROTATE THEM OFTEN IF YOU DRIVE THEM WHERE THEY FEEL GOOD

they last about as long as AZENIS... dont grab as hard, have better turn in
due to stiffer side walls and stick well in the rain...

POTENZA $$ 195/50/15 S03 will be my next tire me thinks however.
they run about $65 each. 205s are damn high... 120each... EGAD...
AZENIS are 60 each in 205/50/15 and on galactic backorder...
