I do. BUT, the azenis is only used for an Auto-x tire. Using the azenis as a street tire is pointless because of its low tread ware rating (200 A A)
Sizes:<16
215/45/16
205/55/16
205/50/15

But remember Its an auto-x and occational track tire.

on launch does it grip well? as in on a 5th gen, all my friends have it but on Si's or Type R's i want to see how it is on a lude cuz of its torque and all.

i have them on my 4th gen lude, they are awesome! i don't drive my car much except out to the races, i guess thats why i'm not worried about the tread wear rating. after I heat them up, i can launch at 4k w/ minimal spin.

Thing is, the Pole Position S-02's and S-03's that come on the S2000's are only rated 200 also. They're used for every day street use. Of course I guess if you can fork that much over what's an extra $200 a tire for new tires

exactly. i use them as an everyday tire. no problems. sure, they wear fast, but they're also pretty cheap and provide great traction.

Yup, I have them on my 4th gen and love them. It's not a daily driver, so I'm not too concerned w/the wear. Auto-x'ed them 3 weeks ago and they were great. Just needed a little more air in them.
