Lot of talk about tires, Sooo how bout the Axenis's
Anybody ever use this tire, or know someone that has?? I've read some good online reviews but have only seen them once in person. Not a rain tire at all from what I read. Before I buy a set I thought I would consult the almighty board for more info (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Here's what they look like and pricing http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_t.htm |

Great tire for AX. It is a very soft compound that heats up very quickly. I don't think that I would use it though for regular street driving.

Pretty Cheap, Very sticky. After extendent street use and heat cycling they do fall off a bit. Don't expect to get more than 8K miles out of them.

Sounds like they may be a good tire for me, maybe...
I drive less than 1k a year. I don't drive in the rain. Occasional auto x. Price is great. Beside quick tread wear, what are the negitives for street driving? |

They are one of two tires to have for "street tire" class autocrossing. (STS, SM, etc.) The other one is the BFG KD tire. From talking to people who have used them, they are really good for grip. Cheap, too. Loud on the street, and they won't last long, and they are only OK in the wet (don't even think about going through snow on them!!) but they really grip in the dry!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Ok, first hand....I got them, I love them. Nuff said.....
These are great in the rain. I have run 6 drivers ed days in the rain with these tires. lots of grip. I run these on the street. very good wear as the car is only 2300#. I did start to see some discolor on the shoulder after a lot of dry high track driving. The tires stay soft. A very good value for the money. For dedicated track tires, shaved Kumos....but for combo street/track. Got mine out of pennsylvania in about 3 days for $63 each....hope it helps, herb (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
