Stay with the falkens....I too had falkens that lasted shorter than I would have liked (about 7 months), so I went out and tried the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's. Big Mistake on my part. Yes, the tire wear is great, but the lack of grip compared to the azenis is not fun. Now I'm just trying to burn through them as fast as possible, so I can justify to myself that I want new tires

Yokohama ES100 would be perfect for you. I've got 12k on mine with at least another 10k left. They stick great for a tire that lasts this long.

Worn out in 2 mo? I'm assuming that you're using them for daily driving.

Put the Azenis on a set of cheap steelies and just use them on race days. Then get a set of regular all seasons for daily driving.

If you're wearing them out in 2 months of daily driving and autocross, you're driving way too hard on the street. Slow down. I put 8 track weekends and about 6000 street miles on my car last year. One set of azenis (that werent even done yet).
