That all depends on what tire you are comparing it to? It is a great tire for performance driving, IE open track events or autocross, however the sidewall is to stiff to be a good "drag tire"

The Azenis are a bad choice for dragging, unless you like wheel hop violent enough to toss you out the sunroof. Sidewalls are too stiff.

Just drive out there on the streets with your slicks on. Just stay away from puddles. You never no who you will run that night at times.

ive seen people cut 2.00 short times on azenis. my friend just cut a 1.9 60' on bfg's this past weekend.

if mileage and rain driving is not an issue its BFG's hands down. they are fine in the rain i just wouldnt want to have to do it all the time.

ET streets if u got the power smallest size is 26 by 8 by 15
