For a daily driver, the Azenis won't last too long. If you are planning on doing auto-x, then they are almost universally agreed on, though.

I don't know how the neo gen is for grip, but it probably has a much higher treadwear than the Azenis, I'm assuming.

Yoko AVS ES100 is a pretty nice dual-duty tire. Reasonable price, too. I run them on both my cars.

looking on the thread on those neos makes me think they are some crappy winter tires. they don't provide alot of surface and they are really hard compound too.

Just look at them and you can see that they don't have enough thread contact area to provide you with grip. Looks like the crappiest design ever.

I think you better off driving on all season tires then on those, I'm dead serious too. I don't see how they can provide grip at all.
