azenis sports kick ass but you wont get more than 13k miles out of them if you drive hard


im using azenis sports daily now


if your choosing on those 2 then i would go for the t1s


they are very good tires....

you will get the most grip out of the t1s compared to the avs

the avs's are good, but the ts1's are much better IMO. i'd say azenis, but for a 2wd daily driver, they won't be safe in the rain past 50% tread.

Very quiet ride and great value.

I have the Yokohama AVS ES 100 in 205/45-16. They provide excellent wet and dry handling and they are quiet. I highly recommend them.

I too would go with the T1-S. I have them on my millenia and they work great. When spring comes they will go on my P5 as well.

Don't know if you already made your decision, but I recently bought a set of yokohama ice guard (strictly winter tires). Not only would I suggest them, I highly recommend them. Last weekend, in Vermont, with 4-6 inches of fresh powda on the road, these tires gripped like non-other. Furthermore, these tires ride similiar to our stock tires......highly recommend.
