i just got a set of these tires and i would like to know the pros and cons. i know there realy good (grippy) tires, but i want to know how well they are in the rain and anyother application that they would come in contact with. thanks for the replies!

 

hmm i think this has been coverd b4 butttt. there loud on the roads.. good tires.. but loud.. i prob wont get another set

 

they dont sound to loud to me, BUT, i do have a N1 and a built motor so i dont reall hear to much other than those

 

yeah i have a stock motor.... so i can def here it

 

I would have to say, if it's raining, be super careful. Especially as the tires start to wear down.

They are not all season tires, therefore, will not perform in all seasonal conditions.
Snow is an absolute No-No.

I don't know if it would be considered a Con, but the treadwear is only 200AA on them. Which means, don't expect to get 30k miles out of them. lol

I've yet to encouter any real problems with mine yet...I've only had them a little over a month or so.

They've seen 1 track experience = AWESOME!
I've taken them out in the rain, but I don't get on it, so I don't slide everywhere.

I guess that's about the extent of my experiences so far.

They are, undoubtedly, the best bang for the buck!

 

thanks, anyone else?

 

I hear bridgestone potenza S03's are the ****.

Running pirelli p4000's now.... they're so-so. Not disappointed...but not impressed.

A little squirrely in wet weather.

 

worn down azenis + rain + 65 MPH = hydroplaning

 

Pros would definitely be traction. I spent a long time looking for a tire that will hook and be affordable and last a decent amount of time compared to drag radials, and these are it. They grab very nicely.

Cons, I would say so far are road noise and weight. Theyre heavy as ****.

 

Azenis are one of the best and cheapest upgrade IMO. I got mine in 205/50/15 for 280 shipped to my door. Just dont be a dumbass in the rain thats all.. the pros out weigh the cons

 

here's a pro,
i had a flat tire... i wasnt aware at the time but the sidewall is so stiff i was able to ride on it to my destination.

They are. The are some of the best tires I've driven on for dry and wet conditions.

 

it's to big for my gabs so i took it out!! It's good on cornering though!! it grabs!!!!! wider is better not on a dump car like my dc2!!!

 

How do they compare to the Yoko ES100s in the rain? Anyone know...

 

My azenis aren't that loud, noticeable, but noticeable. Also, I don't understand what everyone talks about how azenis are so bad in the rain. I don't know about ya'll but I dont drive my car hard in the rain, around 90 degree turns and so forth, so I don't even see why it would matter. Now snow is a different story, cause even going up a little hill, I had trouble moving forward and not rolling backwards

All in all, I like them, and may or may not get that as my next tires...

I agree. Other tires, like the ES100 will grip much better in the rain. But if you drive conservatively the Azenis are safe enough to drive in rain. Just avoid standing water!
One time it was pouring rain and it was late so very few cars on the freeway. I was taking my time going about 60, went over a puddle and could feel it come loose very quickly. Azenis are meant as a summer tire so just be safe in the rain and don't bother in the snow

 

jlb, it looks like you have the sports on your wheels in your sig am i right?

 

very good info!! just picked up a set this afternoon for $260 out the door

The Azenis? Yea, I'm running the 205-50-15 on my Bronze C10's. I'm really happy with them and just waiting until I can drive my car again and then I'm hitting some autox and hopefully Buttonwillow soon.

 

stick for street tire with good tread.
noisier than normal(will pick up pebbles) but doesnt bother me at all.
doesnt seem to affect me in rain.

 

i just bought a set of BF goodrich Gforce 205/50 tires heard they help guide the road turning at high speed havent put them on yet ill let you know if its true or just not
