Very good tires and last a good some time, my buddy has them and hes had the set on there for a year and they still have some tread left! He autocrosses with them!

I luv mine! They wrap my rotas nicely and they have awesome treadwear. Some people say there not sticky enough, yeah right, heat those bad boys up in the canyons and out corner crotch rockets! I love my tires. I wont go with anything else, well except on my accord with 18" Nitto NT450 extremes. :P

they generally last me 8-9 months however that's going to the canyon about 3 nights a week and i drive about 50 miles a day. but they really are THAT good and heating them up makes all the difference as well. they definitely stick. you wont be sorry you bought them.

How about road noise are they loud or tollerable?

They make noise. They dont last that long, especially if your toe is jacked up... but then again, these are the hands-down best bang-for-buck summer tire you can get...period.
The #1 national autocross champions in STS have been on Azenis for years now, followed by a huge pack of more Azenis drivers.
An alternative that might last a little more is the Kuhmo MX, but they are reportedly less stable in the rain than Azenis, and they cost a wee bit more.
The noise doesnt matter if you are using these tires for wha they are made for. :)

I mainly used my Azenis for auto-x. . .They were absolutely awesome for what you pay. I will definitely put a set on the CRX at some point next year.

my buddy had them on his z3 coupe - they wer bad ass on an small road couse in gainesville - maybe the best tires I've ever driven... tread wear sucked but who cares when you're glued to the road

i found this on the azenis wear... it is a well documented summary of what the car was used for, measurements, length of time and so on showing the wear on his azenis tires. it should answer your question:

good tires i went to the track and was lauching at about 4300 with them
I have been running them on both of my cars for awhile. I get about 12,000 miles out of the 14s on my hatch and about 18,000 miles on the 15s on my accord. Road noise? can not hear a damn bit of it. They are absolutely awesome once they heat up.
To settle all arguements that they suck in the rain, why would you be driving really fast in the rain? As long as you are not exceeding your limits in the rain, you will be fine. I have used them in the rain and they work perfect. Just dont drive like you do in the summer. lol They do not do so well for hydroplaning, but what tire really does? To sum up what I am saying, just drive safetly in the rain with them like you would with any tire and you will be fine.

well i myself purchased a set of azenis 195/60r14 tires and they were a bitch to get onto my steelies but well worth it they stiffened the ride up alot and realy improved my handling but yes they arent the best in the rain i tend to leave a smoky trail trying to pull out of my driveway and going around corners and getting on the gas to get up to speed.........but all in al they get a 10/10 from me

well i purchased some and they were a pain to get on cause of the stiff sidewall but i got it.....they were a night and day difference i love them and grip much better then the old tires.....maybe i can pull some 2.1 60's now...we will find out sat.
