I've come down to these tires to pair with my nitto 450's...the dimensions are 215/45/17 and the nittos will probly be put in the back until i rotate my tires...

yokahoma avs es 100
khumo ecsta 712
toyo proxes 4
falken azenis st115

all of them are around the same price range...and i'm only buying two to mount them in the front..I'm not getting another pair of nittos because they aren't really that great and i don't wanna spend money on tires i don't like so...

this is mostly for daily/spirited driving

 

I'd go with kumho 712

Nice and cheap tire.

 

Falken Azenis, not the st115, but the regular ones. The Proxes 4 is more of an all season tire, and the Kumho's suck. The st115's don't grip half as well as the regular ones. The Yokohama's are the best out of the one's you have listed, but I'd still rather be riding on a set of Azenis.

 

how is the thread life on the azenis? i heard they don't last at all?

You are correct, they don't last long. If you require longevity, look into the Yokohama's. The Kumho's may be attractive due to their price, but take it from someone who knows, your money is best spent elsewhere.

 

yokohama avs es 100 are nice...better than kumho 712s

 

Ive heard nothing but good things about the es 100's

 

Go with the ES 100's. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

 

I rock the toyo proxes

 

I have owned 3 of the 4 you listed (712, ES100, and the Azenis Sports (and the Nitto 450's)) and currently have Azenis Sports on my Hybrid Sol. These tires are the best performers for the money I have ever found. I have had them for about the last 6 months, and I won't buy another tire, period. I auto-x (tire class) with them and the grip is incredible. As far as wear, they aren't 100k Sears tires, but I have about 15k on them so far and prolly have about 10-15k left. So for the money, I'd pick the Azenis anytime.

 

I love Yok so you know what I would say, ES 100's All of the tires you listed are nice and fairly inexpensive...
