Its a cheap tire. i have one in 215 35 18 because i needed a tire. its been good so far for daily driving and i have had it on my car for a little less than a month now, which is about ~1500 miles

Ill compare it like this, i can break traction on wet or dry with little (less than 3k) rpms and slight agressiveness on my slipping clutch on a straight line, yet i have had them hold decently on long wide turns at freeway speeds.. from what i heard about the azenis, they are a bit more grippy than that.

as for comfort levels, it is a smooth riding tire with deep tread and low road noise. that i am aware of, its a low mileage rated tire that should only be used as a daily driving "performance" tire, which by performance, i mean it looks performance for aftermarket wheels, but does not perform like a real performance grippy tire.

i say smack the guy and go get tires from somewhere else. other equivlant tires are nankang, strata, triangle, and wanli tires. i was researching before i bought tires before and came across these different tire brands advertised for "cheap prices"

and if i you just so happen to get it, its only worth 60 a tire in 17s

I feel like confronting the guy. lol. His exact words were, "I'll do you one better then the Falkens! I've got these tires right here that are just as good and are cheaper They're normally $80 but if you buy two right now I'll let them go for $70 a piece!"

After I gave him a long sideway glace, I told him I'd be back. lol

Damn I meant to check the price on these today at the shop. I'm sure it's somewhere in the high $30 range lol. They are cheap tires for sure.
