If your going to use them on the street no its not worth it. They wear out very fast. But if its for track only then you cant beat the price and the life spent on a toyo proxes.

are you talking about Fz4's???

they are the WORST tire i have ever used.
soft sidewalls
horrible wet traction
turn in sucked.

i had them for one week and returned them to a cheaper kumho ecsta supra which i found to be MUCH better. and thats not saying much. so, just buy another set of falkens.

Toyo makes a lot of different tires called Proxes. (Just like Bridgestone does with Potenza, Falken with Azenis, Michelin with Pilot, etc.) Everything from track tires (Proxes RA-1), to summer street tires (Proxes T1-S), to all-season tires (Proxes FZ4), to truck/SUV tires (Proxes S/T). You need to be more specific to tell us which tire you're talking about.

T1-S is not even in the same league as the Azenis. Skip them.

You have the sticky Azenis Sports, not the other Azenis right?
