Default How drastic is the handling improvement when using Azenis?

Heres the deal, ive been running on Si's with Michelin XGT 195/55 (stock) on my car for 2 weeks now and ive noticed that they are more responsive, but for some reason car tends to roll more now, compared to my previous 14" steely and kumho 185/60 tires.

When i put on 205/50 Azenis how would my cornering and responsivess differ? also one more question, from your experience how does the Azenis stack up to the ES100 or Ecsta 712?

Thanks for your input guys

Ive driven on Kumho 711, 712, and Azenis Sports. I have to say the azenis grip like no tomorrow. It is much better at cornering than either of the kumhos.

You'll never want to go back to 712s after Azenis, lets just put it that way (except maybe in the rain ).

Azenis are pretty terrible in the rain. You were complaining about being less responsive, are you running enough air pressure in your tires? I would have to say Azenis are the best bang for the buck they are pretty cheap and they have damn good traction, they do were out though alot faster though compared to your Michelins probably if you do alot of highway driving, considering the Azenis are mostly track tires but can be used on the street as well. Just a roll of thumb lower the series number for the side wall the less body roll you will experience as long as you are running the correct tire pressure.

To Quote a fellow on my car last year while running Azenis "That cars riding on rails"

And it felt like it.
