nittos nt450's are good for daily driving....but never race or autox with them bc they suck donkey ***** for that. if you ever plan on doing anything other than daily driving, get falken azenis.

I got em on the rear 205/45/16
I think the ES100s are great for dry street driving but Im sure azenis will be better.
The ES100s are sweet on rain.


Anyone have any input on Yoko A520s and AVS Sports like with street racing and dragging.

I have them in 205/45/ 16 on my car. I have had both azenis and these and I like these better. Azenis are better in dry but wear real fast and these wear slower and are real good in dry and kickass in rain.

i was running yoko yk420, great tire for DD, the get great milage good in the rain and dry and even snow. and you still can push your car with them.

after doing the 4x114.3 swap i am running some advan neova's and hollly **** my car sticks like a mother f*cker now. now i can't comepare these to azenis, or any other tire cause i have only ran the yk420's and now the neova's shitty thing about the neova's is they aren't sold in the USA and hence they are not DOT approved

I absolutely LOVED my Azenis in the rain.....and I'm from rainy Seattle area.

8 of 10 autocrosses in my city were raining, and my tires gripped just as good as other people A032R's

Don't let people fool you about the Azenis in the rain. I'm not saying drive like you would when it's dry, cause that's just common sense. Use responsiblity in the rain with these tires and they will be great. Just avoid still water.

And your local Sears Automotive can order in these tires also

How is the road noise in the azenis?

I have 195/60/14 ES100s on my HB..i love them. there is pretty much no noise from them either.

ive had many of these tires..they suck for anything but daily driving. Good life span, good wear, good price, bad traction, wear hard when driven hard.

Yea the azenis are by far the best. there performance for the money is great. i have also had good experience with nt 555's they hook up well off the line but the sidewall is just to soft for auto x...i recently replaced my 15" rotas with some 16" volks so the azenis arent an option, i'm gonna go with es100s's
