What type of tires are you looking for? Quiet, long lasting? Grippy with little tread life?

Help us help you.

Dude if you already knew the answer to your question then why even ask us?

Have you ever even driven on A032R tires? They are the loudest tires I've ever driven on and they wear out quick as ****.

Also they are probably over $150.00 per tire for a 14'' size too.

Ive got azenis on my 14in rims. Contrary to what people have said, my tread seems to be holding up quite nicely. It's been 15000 miles and they damn near look brand new. And at $55 a tire you cant go wrong.

Umm . . . we need:

- price range
- whether or not wear mileage is important
- whether or not noise is important
- your region's climate (i.e. cold, hot, rainy, sunny, etc.)
- whether or not you have snow tires
- what you intend to do with the car (i.e. what does "track" mean? what type of track? how often? is this car a daily driver?)

Why AO32R's? I agree with Tom. You drag race right? I'd go with some Azenis..

Dragrace? Azenis?

I must disagree.

Drag racing tires should have flexible sidewalls. Azenis have very stiff sidewalls.

If someone wants a drag tire, try the BFG drag radials.

Azenis are not terrible drag tires, but they are not the best either.

Doh, my bad. I didn't think about that. I was just thinking about decent all around street tires.

They're not decent all around street tires either. More like excellent dry summer street tires.

They're okay in the wet until you hit any standing water, and they're absolutely unusable in snow.
