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
