The original poster did not ask for a track tire. Azenis sports go slick at high temps too... You see alot of Azenis sports because they are cheap and people are misinformed. A real track tire is a Victoracer V7100, not the Azenis Sports or Kumho MX.


umm did i say track tire NO i said autocross tire. autocross you race for a miniute and then get a minimum 5 minute cool down period. and victoracers are bottom line race tires the v710 ort hoosier a6 or r6 are better tires

I don't think the original post asked for either one. Btw, I wouldn't suggest an R6 for auto-x that is if you're looking for traction at all.

If you're looking for an all season tire with some performance in mind. I would go with Yokohama Avid v4s. They're nice.

car and driver did a very thorough article of all the best tires. it was done on an m3 i think. so everything was equal. from what i remember, the goodyear f1's were the best in wet traction by far and held pretty well in dry. the bfg kd was the best in the dry. the bfg dk/W seemed like the best deal because it was and inbetween tire of the kd and the f1. i do remember that they didn't like the khumo ecsta mx at all. they rated it very low, which suprised me because i almost bought them. i bought nitto nt555's. they grip pretty well, but are a hard compound tire. they hold up extremely well for a high performance tire, but won't bring the performance of the more expensive bfg's or goodyear tires...... just screw it and get r compound tires!!!!!
