Default Kuhmo MX tires....need experienced opinions

i am planning on getting a new set of wheels and tires and i am trying to decide whether to get <FONT COLOR="red">Azenis or MX's</FONT>.

i do not want people just stating what is better when they have not tried both
i just want an hones opinion on how well the MX's performed and if they are a decent "autocrossable" tire. I really dont care about wet traction seeing as though i dont drive like an a$$ in the rain.

i would also kinda like to know how long the tires lasted in your application and how they performed on track if you had the oppurtunity to run them on track.

thank you in advance
and if i have any more questions i will post them up later

My MX's didn't impress me when I had them. They're not a bad tire for the price, but there are better deals out there. I would much rather be riding on Pilot Sports, or S-03's than any Kumho I've tried (and I've tried them all). I like the Azenis for what it is: an inexpensive alternative to much more expensive tires with a few comprimises, notably wear characteristics and wet grip. If you don't drive like an *** in the rain, and don't abuse your tires in the first place, then the Azenis will be great. If money is an issue, then the Azenis will be great. If money isn't an issue, then save and get some S-03's. Personally, I'm still looking for a Set of Advan Neova AD07's.

so what you are saying is that the MX's are not worth the $2 over the Azenis

i am kinda sorta going for budjet stuff, i know chad swears by Dunlop sp8000's for daily driving and regular abuse.

i know people thaty own azenis and swear by them but yet they have not actually tried any other tires so they have biased and unproven opinions.

I would get the Azenis over the Kumho's, and I've had both.
